Hormone-Inspired Self-Organization and Distributed Control of Robotic Swarms
The control of robot swarming in a distributed manner is a difficult problem because global behaviors must emerge as a result of many local actions. This paper uses a bio-inspired ...

Opinion Dynamics for Decentralized Decision-Making in a Robot Swarm
In this paper, we study how an opinion dynamics model can be the core of a collective decision-making mechanism for swarm robotics. Our main result is that when opinions represent ...

To flock or not to flock: the pros and cons of flocking in long-range "migration" of mobile robot swarms
This study investigates the pros and cons of flocking in longrange “migration” of mobile robot swarms under the influence of different factors. We present a flocking behav...

Mobile Stigmergic Markers for Navigation in a Heterogeneous Robotic Swarm
We study self-organized navigation in a heterogeneous robotic swarm consisting of two types of robots: small wheeled robots, called foot-bots, and flying robots that can attach to ...

Using structures to synchronize cameras of robots swarms
— The synchronization of image sequences acquired by robots swarms is an essential task for localization operations. We address this problem by considering the swarms as dynamic ...
