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 …

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 …

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 …

We present ARGoS, a novel open source multi-robot simulator. The main design focus of
ARGoS is the real-time simulation of large heterogeneous swarms of robots. Existing robot …

We propose a formalism to model and reason about reconfigurable multi-agent systems. In
our formalism, agents interact and communicate in different modes so that they can pursue …

Self-assembling robots have the potential to undergo autonomous morphological
adaptation. However, due to the simplicity in their hardware makeup and their limited …

We propose a formalism to model and reason about multi-agent systems. We allow agents
to interact and communicate in different modes so that they can pursue joint tasks; agents …

We introduce spatially targeted communication-a communication method for multirobot
systems. This method allows an individual message sending robot to isolate selected …

We detail progress towards giving robots the capacity to assemble into appropriate
morphologies and to operate as a single entity when physically connected to one another …

Spatially targeted communication (STC) allows a message sender to choose message
recipients based on their location in space. Currently, STC in multirobot systems is limited to …
