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 a new approach to the coordination of large numbers of relatively simple
robots. The approach takes its inspiration from the system-level functioning of social insects …

My major motivation to think about swarm robotics is the question of how probabilistic local
actions of small robots sum up to rational global patterns shown by the swarm. For the …

Designing and analyzing self-organizing systems such as robotic swarms is a challenging
task even though we have complete knowledge about the robot's interior. It is difficult to …

In swarm robotics, communication among the robots is essential. Inspired by biological
swarms using pheromones, we propose the use of chemical compounds to realize group …

Stigmergy is a form of indirect communication and coordination in which individuals
influence their peers by modifying the environment in various ways, including rearranging …

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 …

Swarm robotics is a novel approach to the coordination of large numbers of robots and has
emerged as the application of swarm intelligence to multi-robot systems. Different from other …

Stigmergy is a form of indirect communication and coordination in which agents modify the
environment to pass information to their peers. In nature, animals use stigmergy by, for …

Large swarms of simple autonomous robots can be employed to find objects clustered at
random locations, and transport them to a central depot. This solution offers system …
