This paper addresses the need for formal specification and runtime verification of system-level requirements of distributed reactive systems. It describes a formalism for specifyi...
Abstract— Biological systems achieve amazing adaptive behavior with local agents performing simple sensing and actions. Modular robots with similar properties can potentially ach...
On May 4, 1988 a fire occurred after hours on the 12th floor of the First Interstate Bank building, a 62 story steelframe office tower in Los Angeles California. The sprinkler sys...
Problems such as the design of distributed controllers are characterized by modularity and symmetry. However, the symmetries useful for solving them are often difficult to determ...
—A self-reconfigurable robot is a robotic device that can change its own shape. Self-reconfigurable robots are commonly built from multiple identical modules that can manipulat...
