Most of the mobile reconfigurable robots are designed for non-manufacturing applications such as rescue robots or walking-wheeled robots for exploring irregular terrains
The stationary are designed mainly for manufacturing
Serial (“Puma” modular, RMMS from Carnegie Mellon)
Parallel (Hyper-Redundant reconfigurable Robotic Arms, and Compliant parallel mechanisms driven by optimized magnet-coil actuators
Hybrid serial/parallel manipulators (serial robots built from modules that are parallel robots)
