Active solids consist of elastically coupled out-of-equilibrium units performing work,,,,,,,,,,,–.
They are central to autonomous processes, such as locomotion, self-oscillations and …

We investigate how reliable movement can emerge in aggregates of highly error-prone
individuals. The individuals—robotic modules—move stochastically using vibration motors …

How groups of cooperative foragers can achieve efficient and robust collective foraging is of
interest both to biologists studying social insects and engineers designing swarm robotics …

Modular robots are autonomous systems with variable morphology, composed of
independent connected computational elements, called particles or modules. Due to critical …

Collective intelligence and autonomy of robot swarms can be improved by enabling the
individual robots to become aware they are the constituent units of a larger whole and what …

In this paper, we present a distributed Id assignment algorithm for modular robots. Our
proposed solution supports both the removal and the addition of particles in the system …

Auto-organizarea este procesul prin care un sistem aflat initial intr-o starelipsita de ordine
evolueaza prin interactiuni si feedback pozitiv catre ostare de echilibru. Inspirat de coloniile …
