Integrated Debugging of Large Modular Robot Ensembles
Abstract— Creatively misquoting Thomas Hobbes, the process of software debugging is nasty, brutish, and all too long. This holds all the more true in robotics, which frequently i...

Distributed Watchpoints: Debugging Large Multi-Robot Systems
Abstract— Tightly-coupled multi-agent systems such as modular robots frequently exhibit properties of interest that span multiple modules. These properties cannot easily be detec...

A Language for Large Ensembles of Independently Executing Nodes
We address how to write programs for distributed computing systems in which the network topology can change dynamically. Examples of such systems, which we call ensembles, include ...

A modular robotic system using magnetic force effectors
— One of the primary impediments to building ensembles with many modular robots is the complexity and number of mechanical mechanisms used to construct the individual modules. As...

Meld: A declarative approach to programming ensembles
Abstract— This paper presents Meld, a programming language for modular robots, i.e., for independently executing robots where inter-robot communication is limited to immediate ne...
