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 …

This paper reviews some main results and progress in distributed multi-agent coordination,
focusing on papers published in major control systems and robotics journals since 2006 …

Multi-agent systems have numerous civilian, homeland security, and military applications;
however, for all these applications, communication bandwidth, sensing range, power …

Evolutionary Robotics is a method for automatically generating artificial brains and
morphologies of autonomous robots. This approach is useful both for investigating the …

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 …

We introduce AutoMoDe: a novel approach to the automatic design of control software for
robot swarms. The core idea in AutoMoDe recalls the approach commonly adopted in …

The first edition of this popular textbook, Contemporary Artificial Intelligence, provided an
accessible and student friendly introduction to AI. This fully revised and expanded update …

Swarm robotics is a promising approach for the coordination of large numbers of robots.
While previous studies have shown that evolutionary robotics techniques can be applied to …

Automatic design is a promising approach to the design of control software for robot swarms.
In an automatic design method, the design problem is cast into an optimization problem and …
