Navigation-based optimization of stochastic strategies for allocating a robot swarm among multiple sites
— We present a decentralized, communication-less approach to the dynamic allocation of a swarm of homogeneous robots to a target distribution among multiple sites. Building on ou...

Enabling bio-feedback using real-time fMRI
— Despite the enormous complexity of the human mind, fMRI techniques are able to partially observe the state of a brain in action. In this paper we describe an experimental setup...

Synchronization in networks of nonlinear oscillators with coupling delays
Abstract— We consider the synchronization problem of an arbitrary number of coupled nonlinear oscillators with delays in the interconnections. The emphasis is on coupled Lorenz s...

Almost sure convergence to consensus in Markovian random graphs
— In this paper we discuss the consensus problem for a network of dynamic agents with undirected information flow and random switching topologies. The switching is determined by...
