Echinoderm‐Inspired Autonomy for Soft‐Legged Robots
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Inspired by echinoderms, a modular soft robot achieves autonomous phototaxis without a central controller or explicit communication. Each limb independently adapts its actuation timing through local sensing and short‐term memory. Coordination emerges purely from physical interactions, demonstrating resilience to changes in morphology, environment, and ...

Decentralized fuzzy controller and observer design for nonlinear interconnected systems
, 2012 [[abstract]]In general, it is not easy to design a decentralized controller for nonlinear interconnected systems. In this study, the stability of nonlinear interconnected systems is studied via a fuzzy decentralized control method.

Decentralized documents authoring system for decentralized teamwork [PDF]
Proceedings of the 17th ACM international conference on Supporting group work, 2012 While systems for collaborative distributed works focus on enhancing distributed work group productivity, few attention have been spent on their architecture. In fact, most of those systems rely on centralized ones for both users communications and data hosting.

Analysis of a Decentralized Production-Inventory System [PDF]
Manufacturing & Service Operations Management, 2003 We model an isolated portion of a competitive supply chain as a M/M/1 make-to-stock queue. The retailer carries finished goods inventory to service a Poisson demand process, and specifies a policy for replenishing his inventory from an upstream supplier.
