Exploiting Loose Horizontal Coupling in Evolutionary Swarm Robotics
We describe a theory from Herbert Simon that links the structure of complex systems to increased speed of evolution, and argue the position that this theory can be beneficial to ev...

Controlling three Dimensional Swarms of Robots
— We address the problem of modeling and controlling a swarm of fully actuated point-like robots in three dimensions by generalizing the planar framework from [1]. We define a e...

A Review of Probabilistic Macroscopic Models for Swarm Robotic Systems
Abstract. In this paper, we review methods used for macroscopic modeling and analyzing collective behavior of swarm robotic systems. Although the behavior of an individual robot in...
