Abstract
SUMMARY A major technical challenge in controlling modular and reconfigurable robots is associated with the kinematics and dynamic model uncertainties caused by reconfiguration. In parallel, conventional model uncertainties such as uncompensated joint friction still persist. This paper presents a modular distributed control technique for modular and reconfigurable robots that can instantly adapt to robot reconfigurations. Under the proposed control method that is based on joint torque sensing, a modular and reconfigurable robot is stabilized joint by joint, and modules can be added or removed without the need to adjust control parameters of the other modules of the robot. Model uncertainties associated with link and payload masses are compensated using joint torque sensor measurement. The remaining model uncertainties, including uncompensated dynamic coupling and joint friction, are compensated by a decomposition-based robust controller. Simulation results have confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
