Dynamical systems theory is used here as a theoretical language and tool to design a distributed control archictecture that generates navigation in formation, integrated with obst...
As robots become more complex by incorporating dynamic stability or greater mechanical degrees of freedom, the difficulty of developing control algorithms directly on the robot in...
Abstract— Distributed reconfiguration is an important problem in multi-robot systems such as mobile sensor nets and metamorphic robot systems. In this work, we present a scalabl...
The Ikaros project started in 2001 with the aim of developing an open infrastructure for system-level brain modeling. The system has developed into a general tool for cognitive mo...
An issue central to the navigation problem is memory. Traditional systems build symbolic maps of the world for navigational reference. Reactive methods, in contrast, eliminate or m...
