| Abstract | Automatic docking between separate parts is a fundamental challenge that arises in engineering systems which autonomously change their structures. This ability enables free bodies in the same environment to join together in order to complete a task that would otherwise not be achievable with the independent modules. Docking capability is highly desirable in applications such as self-reconfigurable robots, autonomous undersea vehicles, and automated recharging of security robots. The major problem for this task is to overcome alignment errors and ensure a firm connection. We have developed a mechanism to overcome this challenging problem. This paper focuses on the design details of our proposed docking joint and presents the results of finite element analysis (FEA) on the joint as well as experimental results. Our final goal is to develop an autonomous multi-rove robot. In this concept, a number of independent mobile robots can self-assemble into a single modular robot. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
