This work presents a review and discussion of the challenges that must be solved in order to
successfully develop swarms of Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs) for real world operations. From …

To achieve collaborative tasks, robots in a team need to have a shared understanding of the
environment and their location within it. Distributed Simultaneous Localization and Map** …

A swarm of autonomous flying robots is implemented in simulation to cooperatively gather
situational awareness data during the first few hours after a major natural disaster. In …

The increasing number of robots around us creates a demand for connecting these robots in
order to achieve goal-driven teamwork in heterogeneous multi-robot systems. In this paper …

This work presents a series of demonstrations of our self-reconfigurable modular robots
(SRMR)“Roombots” in the context of adaptive and assistive furniture. In literature …

Swarm behaviour engineering is an area of research that seeks to investigate methods for
coordinating computation and action within groups of simple agents to achieve complex …

Robot swarms herald the ability to solve complex tasks using a large collection of simple
devices. However, engineering a robotic swarm is far from trivial, with a major hurdle being …

As we continue exploration of the Lunar and Martian surfaces and push farther into unknown
and unstructured environments, employing a team of distributed heterogeneous robots will …

This paper advocates the use of compositional specifications based on formal languages as
a means of modelling and analysing sophisticated collective behaviour in natural systems …

We address the problem of progressively deploying a set of robots to a formation defined as
a point cloud, in a decentralized manner. To achieve this, we present an algorithm that …
