Swarm Robotics is an emerging field of adapting the phenomenon of natural swarms to
robotics and a study of robots to mimic natural swarms, like ants and birds, to form a …

Currently, the control software of swarm robotics systems is created by ad hoc development.
This makes it hard to deploy these systems in real-world scenarios. In particular, it is difficult …

We present two empirical studies on the design of control software for robot swarms. In
Study A, Vanilla and EvoStick, two previously published automatic design methods, are …

Cooperation among heterogeneous agricultural field robots in an agricultural environment
guarantees the advantages of effectiveness and scalability. However, traditional control …

We present Mate, an automatic off-line design method specialized in the design of spatially-
organizing behaviors for robot swarms. Mate belongs to the family of modular methods …

Millirobots have increasingly become popular over the past several years, especially for
swarm-behavior studies, allowing researchers to run experiments with a large number of …

The Kilobot is a widely used platform for investigation of swarm robotics. Physical Kilobots
are slow moving and require frequent recalibration and charging, which significantly slows …

The use of millirobots, particularly in swarm studies, would enable researchers to verify their
proposed autonomous cooperative behavior algorithms under realistic conditions with a …

Recent advances in robotics technology have made it viable to assign complex tasks to
large numbers of inexpensive robots. The robots as an ensemble form into a multi-robot …

This article presents a software tool for the synthesis of supervisory control based on
untimed finite state automata. The tool has a friendly graphical interface for the creation of …
