Through cooperation, robot swarms can perform tasks or solve problems that a single robot
from the swarm could not perform/solve by itself. However, it has been shown that a single …

Prior error management techniques often do not possess the versatility to appropriately
address robot errors across tasks and scenarios. Their fundamental framework involves …

Robot swarms are increasingly deployed in real-world applications. Making swarms safe will
be critical to improve adoption and trust. Fault detection is a useful component in systems …

The ability to reliably detect faults is essential in many real-world tasks that robot swarms
have the potential to perform. Most studies on fault detection in swarm robotics have been …

Swarm robotics has begun to move from the laboratory to the real world. Potential
applications include: logistics, environmental monitoring, search and rescue, and medicine …

Unexpected robot failures are inevitable. We propose to leverage socio-technical relations
within the human-robot ecosystem to support adaptable strategies for handling unexpected …

Robot errors during human-robot interaction will be unavoidable. Their impact on the
collaboration is dependent on the human's perception of it and how timely it is detected and …

The past decade has seen efforts to develop new forms of autonomous systems with varying
applications in different domains, from underwater search and rescue to clinical diagnosis …

Robots in real-world environments continuously engage with multiple users and encounter
changes that lead to unexpected conflicts in fulfilling user requests. Recent technical …

Robot swarms are vulnerable to faults and failures in individual agents. This can be
particularly disruptive where an individual has only partially failed and remains in …
