Hierarchical abstractions for robotic swarms

Proceedings 2006 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2006. ICRA 2006., 2006
We 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 ...

Swarming robots

2016
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.

Underwater swarm robotics review

2015 10th System of Systems Engineering Conference (SoSE), 2015
Underwater robotics is a growing field in which more research is required. A literature review has been conducted on underwater robotics, focusing on the swarm problem with this type of robotics to help overcome this gap. Consensus control of robotic swarms is focused on, with a brief description of formation control and how it can be applied in the ...

The Robot in the Swarm: An Investigation into Agent Embodiment within Virtual Robotic Swarms

2003
This 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

2009
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

2018
We 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

2015
This 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 ...
