Swarm robotics is an approach to collective robotics that takes inspiration from the self-
organized behaviors of social animals. Through simple rules and local interactions, swarm …

The research progress of swarm robotics is reviewed in details. The swarm robotics inspired
from nature is a combination of swarm intelligence and robotics, which shows a great …

To effectively perform collective monitoring of dynamic environments, a robot swarm needs
to adapt to changes by processing the latest information and discarding outdated beliefs. We …

In flocking, a swarm of robots moves cohesively in a common direction. Traditionally,
flocking is realized using two main control rules: proximal control, which controls the …

From AI to Robotics: Mobile, Social, and Sentient Robots is a journey into the world of agent-
based robotics and it covers a number of interesting topics, both in the theory and practice of …

In this paper, we study how a self-organized mobile robot flock can be steered toward a
desired direction through externally guiding some of its members. Specifically, we propose a …

We report and characterize the emergence of a noise-induced state of quenched disorder in
a generic model describing a dense sheet of active polar disks. In this state, self-propelled …

We introduce a new minimal model for self-propelled agents that attract, repel, and align to
their neighbors through elastic interactions. This model has a simple mechanical realization …

We study how the structure of the interaction network affects self-organized collective motion
in two minimal models of self-propelled agents: the Vicsek model and the Active-Elastic (AE) …

Organisms that live in groups, from microbial symbionts to social insects and schooling fish,
exhibit a number of highly efficient cooperative behaviors, often based on role taking and …
