Swarm intelligence principles have been widely studied and applied to a number of different
tasks where a group of autonomous robots is used to solve a problem with a distributed …

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 …

Within the context of multiple mobile, and networked robot systems, this chapter explores the
current state of the art. After a brief introduction, we first examine architectures for multirobot …

Recent advances in technology are delivering robots of reduced size and cost. A natural
outgrowth of these advances are systems comprised of large numbers of robots that …

In the field of mobile robotics, the study of multi-robot systems (MRSs) has grown
significantly in size and importance in recent years. Having made great progress in the …

Distributed controller design is generally a challenging task, especially for multi-agent
systems with complex dynamics, due to the interconnected effect of the agent dynamics, the …

This paper presents control and coordination algorithms for groups of vehicles. The focus is
on autonomous vehicle networks performing distributed sensing tasks, where each vehicle …

We present a novel multi-robot simulator named ARGoS. ARGoS is designed to simulate
complex experiments involving large swarms of robots of different types. ARGoS is the first …

This self-contained introduction to the distributed control of robotic networks offers a
distinctive blend of computer science and control theory. The book presents a broad set of …

Abstract Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is built with the wireless interconnection of Sensor
Nodes (SNs) generally deployed to monitor the changes within the environment of hostile …
