Abstract
In this paper, we present a reconfigurable physical agent bnscd on OPENR. a standard for Robot Entertainment Svstcmk. Reconfi&urdbility is attained by the use of the OPEiR standard which enables hot plug-in capability through precise definition of mechanical, electrical, and software interfaca protocols, In order to verify the reconfiguration capability, WC have developed a fully autonomous robot with four leg8 and a head. Each leg has three degrees of freedom, We were able to easily reconfigure it into a wheel-based mobile robot. Rcconfigurable physical agents will provide us with greater freedom in terms of robot style, and they will open a broader range of application fields, especially for entertainment ngents.Keywords
