Introduction to Swarm Robotics
2018We introduce fundamental concepts of swarm robotics and get a little overview.Swarm robotics is a complex approach that requires an understanding of how to define swarm behavior, whether there is a minimum size of swarms, what are the requirements and properties of swarm systems.

Trophallaxis within a robotic swarm: bio-inspired communication among robots in a swarm
Autonomous Robots, 2007This article presents a bio-inspired communication strategy for large-scale robotic swarms. The strategy is based purely on robot-to-robot interactions without any central unit of communication. Thus, the emerging swarm regulates itself in a purely self-organized way.

Hierarchical abstractions for robotic swarms
Proceedings 2006 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2006. ICRA 2006., 2006We develop a hierarchical framework for planning and control of arbitrarily large groups of fully actuated robots with polyhedral velocity bounds (swarm) moving in polygonal environments with polygonal obstacles. At the first level of hierarchy, we aggregate the high dimensional control system of the swarm into a small dimensional control system ...

When lots of robots come together to form shapes, spread in an area, or move in one direction, their motion has to be planned carefully. We discuss how mathematicians devise strategies to help swarms of robots behave like an experienced, coordinated team.

The Robot in the Swarm: An Investigation into Agent Embodiment within Virtual Robotic Swarms
2003This paper explores the notion of ‘degree of embodiment’ within the context of autonomous agent research, specifically within swarms of virtual robotic agents. Swarms of virtual robots with systematically varied degrees of embodiment are designed and implemented, and a 3D world created for them.

Swarm Robotics is a biologically inspired approach to the organisation and control of groups of robots. Its biological inspiration is mainly drawn from social insects, but also from herding and flocking phenomena in mammals and fish. The promise of emulating some of the efficient organisational principles of biological swarms is an alluring one.

Reactive Synthesis for Robotic Swarms
2018We consider the problem of reactive synthesis for systems with non-instantaneous actions, i.e., it may take an arbitrary amount of time for the actions of the system to complete, and meanwhile the input from the environment may also change, possibly requiring a different response from the system.

Customized Sensing for Robot Swarms
2015This paper describes a novel and compact design for an omni-directional stereo camera. A key goal of the work is to investigate the use of rapid prototyping to make the mirrors for the device, by 3D printing the mirror shape and chroming the surface. The target application is in robot swarms, and we discuss how the ability to create a customized omni ...
