We present a review of recent activities in swarm robotic research, and analyse existing
literature in the field to determine how to get closer to a practical swarm robotic system for …

In this article we present a self-organized method for allocating the individuals of a robot
swarm to tasks that are sequentially interdependent. Tasks that are sequentially …

Research in swarm robotics has shown that automatic design is an effective approach to
realize robot swarms. In automatic design methods, the collective behavior of a swarm is …

Task partitioning is the decomposition of a task into two or more sub-tasks that can be
tackled separately. Task partitioning can be observed in many species of social insects, as it …

We propose an approach for autonomous task partitioning in swarms of foraging robots.
Task partitioning is the process of decomposing tasks into sub-tasks. Task partitioning …

When designing swarm-robotic systems, systematic comparison of algorithms from different
domains is necessary to determine which is capable of scaling up to handle the target …

We investigate the emergence of swarm intelligence using task allocation in large robot
swarms. First, we compare task decomposition graphs of different levels of richness and …

We study task partitioning in the context of swarm robotics. Task partitioning is the
decomposition of a task into subtasks that can be tackled by different workers. We focus on …

Often in swarm robotics, an assumption is made that all robots in the swarm behave the
same and will have a similar (if not the same) error model. However, in reality, this is not the …

Task partitioning is a way of organizing work consisting in the decomposition of a task into
smaller sub-tasks that can be tackled separately. Task partitioning can be beneficial in terms …
