— Assume a swarm of mobile robots is in the act of transporting a large object in the plane, by applying unilateral forces to the perimeter of that object. We address the questio...
We introduce a generic framework for the distributed execution of combinatorial optimization tasks. Instead of relying on custom hardware (like dedicated parallel machines or clus...
Abstract— The role of gradient estimation in global optimization is investigated. The concept of a regional gradient is introduced as a tool for analyzing and comparing different...
Abstract— Designing effective behavioral controllers for mobile robots can be difficult and tedious; this process can be circumvented by using unsupervised learning techniques w...
