Nowadays, the field of mobile robotics has experienced an important evolution and these
robots are more commonly proposed to solve different tasks autonomously. The use of …

The architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry has seen a continuous
growth in the application of Building Information Modelling (BIM) over the last two decades …

Social insects--ants, bees, termites, and wasps--can be viewed as powerful problem-solving
systems with sophisticated collective intelligence. Composed of simple interacting agents …

A key problem in cooperative robotics is the maintenance of ageometric configuration during
movement. To address this problem, theconcept of a Virtual Structure isintroduced. Using …

Now in its third edition, this textbook is a comprehensive introduction to the multidisciplinary
field of mobile robotics, which lies at the intersection of artificial intelligence, computational …

ALLIANCE is a software architecture that facilitates the fault tolerant cooperative control of
teams of heterogeneous mobile robots performing missions composed of loosely coupled …

Swarm Robotics (SR) is an extension of the study of Multi-Robot Systems that exploits
concepts of communication, coordination and collaboration among a large number of robots …

Swarm robotics is a field of multi‐robotics in which large number of robots are coordinated in
a distributed and decentralised way. It is based on the use of local rules, and simple robots …

A key difficulty in the design of multi-agent robotic systems is the size and complexity of the
space of possible designs. In order to make principled design decisions, an understanding …

This paper proposes a design methodology to stabilize isolated relative equilibria in a model
of all-to-all coupled identical particles moving in the plane at unit speed. Isolated relative …
