Multi-agent systems and multi-robot systems have been recognized as unique solutions to
complex dynamic tasks distributed in space. Their effectiveness in accomplishing these …

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

In this paper, we propose a collective decision-making method for swarms of robots. The
method enables a robot swarm to select, from a set of possible actions, the one that has the …

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 …

We present the Kilogrid, an open-source virtualization environment and data logging
manager for the Kilobot robot, Kilobot for short. The Kilogrid has been designed to extend …

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 …

Robot swarms are generally considered to be composed of cooperative agents that, despite
their limited individual capabilities, can perform difficult tasks by working together. However …

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 …

A strategy based on stigmergy mechanism for swarm robots interaction is proposed in this
paper. The stigmergy mechanism refers to an interactive method in which robots …

Many species in nature store information in the environment to facilitate the performance of
tasks and enable cooperation. This principle is known as stigmergy. Stigmergy has been …
