Swarm intelligence principles have been widely studied and applied to a number of different
tasks where a group of autonomous robots is used to solve a problem with a distributed …

Formally, a collection of two or more autonomous mobile robots working together are termed
as teams or societies of mobile robots. In multi robot systems simple robots are allowed to …

Swarm robotics systems are characterized by decentralized control, limited communication
between robots, use of local information, and emergence of global behavior. Such systems …

Collective and swarm robotics explores scenarios involving many robots running at the
same time. A good platform for collective-robotic experiments should provide certain …

In this book the use of ER techniques for the design of self-organising group behaviours, for
both simulated and real robots is introduced. This research has a twofold value. From an …

Swarm robotics is a new approach to the coordination of multi-robot systems which consist
of large numbers of relatively simple robots which takes its inspiration from social insects …

In this work we provide hands-on experience on designing and testing a self-reconfiguring
modular robotic system, Roombots (RB), to be used among others for adaptive furniture. In …

Presents a miniature robotic system (" scout") useful for reconnaissance and surveillance
missions. A large number of scout robots are deployed and controlled by humans and/or …

We present empirical results of an auction-based algorithm for dynamic allocation of tasks to
robots. The results have been obtained both in simulation and using real robots. A distinctive …

We present theoretical foundations for a variation of the multi-agent rendezvous problem
involving design of local control strategies that enable agent swarms, with hard-limited …
