Self-organizing nervous systems for robot swarms

W Zhu, S Oğuz, MK Heinrich, M Allwright, M Wahby… - Science Robotics, 2024 - science.org
We present the self-organizing nervous system (SoNS), a robot swarm architecture based
on self-organized hierarchy. The SoNS approach enables robots to autonomously establish …

[HTML][HTML] Emergent behavior of Cucker–Smale flocking particles with heterogeneous time delays

YP Choi, Z Li - Applied Mathematics Letters, 2018 - Elsevier
We analyze the flocking behavior of a Cucker–Smale-type system with a delayed coupling,
where delays are information processing and reactions of individuals. By constructing a …

Asymptotic analysis of a cucker–smale system with leadership and distributed delay

We extend the analysis developed in Pignotti and Reche Vallejo (J Math Anal Appl 464:
1313–1332, 2018)[34] in order to prove convergence to consensus results for a Cucker …

[HTML][HTML] Time-delay effect on the flocking in an ensemble of thermomechanical Cucker–Smale particles

JG Dong, SY Ha, D Kim, J Kim - Journal of differential equations, 2019 - Elsevier
We study the communication time-delay effect on the emergent dynamics of thermodynamic
Cucker–Smale (TCS) ensemble with temperature as an internal state. In the presence of …

Impacts of time delay on flocking dynamics of a two-agent flock model

X Wang, L Wang, J Wu - … in Nonlinear Science and Numerical Simulation, 2019 - Elsevier
Due to finite information transmission and processing time between agents, delays are
inevitable and should therefore be incorporated into flocking modeling. To shed light on …

First and second-order Cucker-Smale models with non-universal interaction, time delay and communication failures

C Cicolani, E Continelli, C Pignotti - arxiv preprint arxiv:2407.06647, 2024 - arxiv.org
In this paper, we deal with first and second-order alignment models with non-universal
interaction, time delay and possible lack of connection between the agents. More precisely …

Finite-time flocking and collision avoidance for second-order multi-agent systems

H Liu, X Wang, X Li, Y Liu - International journal of systems science, 2020 - Taylor & Francis
This paper focuses on the problem of the finite-time flocking with uniform minimal distance
for second-order multi-agent systems. The solutions of these issues can be viewed as the …

Asymptotic flocking in the Cucker-Smale model with reaction-type delays in the non-oscillatory regime

J Haskovec, I Markou - arxiv preprint arxiv:1810.01084, 2018 - arxiv.org
We study a variant of the Cucker-Smale system with reaction-type delay. Using novel
backward-forward and stability estimates on appropriate quantities we derive sufficient …

Consensus of the Hegselmann–Krause opinion formation model with time delay

YP Choi, A Paolucci, C Pignotti - Mathematical Methods in the …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
In this paper, we study Hegselmann–Krause models with a time‐variable time delay. Under
appropriate assumptions, we show the exponential asymptotic consensus when the time …
