As robots become ubiquitous in our everyday environment, we start seeing them used in groups, rather than individually, to complete tasks. We present a study aimed to understand …
Human swarm interaction (HSI) involves operators gathering information about a swarm's state as it evolves, and using it to make informed decisions on how to influence the collective …
This paper presents a model of swarm behavior that encodes the spatial-temporal characteristics of topological features, such as holes and connected components …

Crowd movement analysis (CMA) is a key technology in the field of public safety. This technology provides reference for identifying potential hazards in public places by analyzing …
Effective motion planning and localization are necessary tasks for swarm robotic systems to maintain a desired formation while maneuvering. Herein, we present an inchworm-inspired …
Communication is crucial for human-robot collaborative tasks. In this context, legibility studies movement as the means of implicit communication between robotic systems and a …
