Swarm robotics deals with the design, construction, and deployment of large groups of
robots that coordinate and cooperatively solve a problem or perform a task. It takes …

The processes underwriting the acquisition of culture remain unclear. How are shared
habits, norms, and expectations learned and maintained with precision and reliability across …

Cooperation is a strategy that has been adopted by groups of organisms to execute complex
tasks more efficiently than single entities. Cooperation increases the robustness and …

Growing models were trained to generate patterns, but don't know how to persist them.
Some patterns explode, some decay, but some happen to be almost stable or even …

Morphogenesis allows millions of cells to self-organize into intricate structures with a wide
variety of functional shapes during embryonic development. This process emerges from …

We present the self-organizing nervous system (SoNS), a robot swarm architecture based
on self-organized hierarchy. The SoNS approach enables robots to autonomously establish …

Swarm robotics is a promising approach to control large groups of robots. However,
designing the individual behavior of the robots so that a desired collective behavior emerges …

We investigate how reliable movement can emerge in aggregates of highly error-prone
individuals. The individuals—robotic modules—move stochastically using vibration motors …

In this paper, we review multi-agent collective behavior algorithms in the literature and
classify them according to their underlying mathematical structure. For each mathematical …
