This work presents a review and discussion of the challenges that must be solved in order to
successfully develop swarms of Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs) for real world operations. From …

Integration of distributed energy resources (DER) in electrical microgrids introduces
residential green buildings (RGB) with a promising decrement in fossil fuel consumption …

Evolutionary robotics is the attempt to develop robots through a self-organized process
based on artificial evolution. This approach stresses the importance of the study of systems …

We introduce AutoMoDe: a novel approach to the automatic design of control software for
robot swarms. The core idea in AutoMoDe recalls the approach commonly adopted in …

The current study investigated the properties of stimuli that lead to the activation of the
human mirror neuron system, with an emphasis on those that are critically relevant for the …

Despite the growing interest in soft robotics, little attention has been paid to the development
of soft matter computational mechanisms. Embedding computation directly into soft materials …

Evolutionary Robotics is a method for the automatic creation of autonomous robots [86]. It is
inspired by the Darwinian principle of selective reproduction of the fittest captured by …

Humans and other animals are able not only to coordinate their actions with their current
sensorimotor state, but also to imagine, plan and act in view of the future, and to realize …

Evolutionary Robotics is a method for automatically generating artificial brains and
morphologies of autonomous robots. This approach is useful both for investigating the …

Cognitive science arose in the 1950s when it became apparent that a number of disciplines,
including psychology, computer science, linguistics, and philosophy, were fragmenting …
