Comparing and modeling distributed control strategies for miniature self-assembling robots
— We propose two contrasting approaches to the scalable distributed control of a swarm of self-assembling miniaturized robots, specifically the formation of chains of a desired ...

Cooperation in a Heterogeneous Robot Swarm through Spatially Targeted Communication
Abstract. We consider a heterogeneous swarm robotic system composed of wheeled and aerial robots called foot-bots and eye-bots, respectively. The foot-bots are able to physically c...

Robot path planning in uncertain environments based on particle swarm optimization
— We propose a robot path planning method based on particle swarm optimization in an uncertain environment. We consider the case that a robot’s cognition to its environment is ...
