	abstract = {This paper introduces an obstacle-crossing strategy, and the self-reconfiguration algorithm for a new class of modular robots called the rolling sphere, which can fit obstacles represented by cubes of different sizes due to the chain connection of multiple spheres. For the self-reconfiguration of the rolling spheres, a large gradient is obtained by classifying its action types and hierarchically minimizing the distance between the initial configuration and the final configuration. The most direct use of this large gradient is the fast crossing of various obstacles, by jointing multiple self-reconfigurations according to the OctoMap of the obstacles. It is verified in simulation that the self-reconfiguration takes full advantage of the parallel movement of multiple modules to reduce the total time steps, and the obstacle-crossing strategy can adapt to a variety of obstacles.},

	abstract = {In this paper, we present a distributed fault {detection} and isolation (FDI) strategy for a team of networked robots that builds on a distributed controller-observer schema. Remarkably different from other works in literature, the proposed FDI approach makes each robot of the team able to detect and isolate faults occurring on other robots, even if they are not direct neighbors. By means of a local observer, each robot can estimate the overall state of the team and it can use such an estimate to compute its local control input to achieve global tasks. The same information used by the local observers is also used to compute residual vectors, whose aim is to allow the detection and the isolation of actuator faults occurring on any robot of the team. Adaptive thresholds are derived based on the dynamics of the residual vectors by considering the presence of nonzero initial observer estimation errors, and noise terms affecting state measurement and model dynamics. The approach is validated via both numerical simulations and experiments involving four Khepera III mobile robots.},
