Specialization as an optimal strategy under varying external conditions
— We present an investigation of specialization when considering the execution of collaborative tasks by a robot swarm. Specifically, we consider the stick-pulling problem firs...

Spatial macroscopic models of a bio-inspired robotic swarm algorithm
— We present a comparative study of two spatially resolved macroscopic models of an autonomous robotic swarm. In previous experiments, the collective behavior of 15 autonomous sw...

Distributed grasp synthesis for swarm manipulation with applications to autonomous tugboats
— Assume a swarm of mobile robots is in the act of transporting a large object in the plane, by applying unilateral forces to the perimeter of that object. We address the questio...
