Abstract
Modular or re-configurable robots have been studied and developed over two decades. Most researches focus on mechatronic interfaces and re-configurable capabilities. However, less attention has been paid to dynamics and control. Consequently, the control performance of a modular robot has never been comparable with an integrated robot, due to the lack of proper handling of the dynamic interactions among the modules. In this paper, the application of the virtual decomposition control to modular robot manipulators is discussed. A high-speed databus with a data rate of 100 Mbps is used for necessary information exchange among the modules. The dynamics based control is fully handled by the local embedded controllers, whereas the host computer handles the kinematics related computation. The stability of the entire robot is rigorously guaranteed. This research aims at giving the modular robots the comparable control performance as the integrated robots, while keeping the fundamental feasibilities such as low cost for mass production, high flexibility, and easy use and expansion.

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
