We introduce a novel combinatorial optimization problem: the one-commodity traveling salesman problem with selective pickup and delivery (1-TSP-SELPD), characterized by the fact th...

Robot swarms provide a way for a number of simple robots to work together to carry out a task. While swarms have been found to be adaptable, fault-tolerant and widely applicable, d...

Abstract. In this work, we propose a method for self-organized adaptive task partitioning in a swarm of robots. Task partitioning refers to the decomposition of a task into less co...

We introduce a novel multi-agent patrolling strategy. By assumption, the swarm of agents performing the task consists of very low capability ant-like agents. The agents have littl...

In this paper we present an experimental setup to model the pheromone trail based foraging behaviour of ants using a special phosphorescent glowing paint. We have built two custom ...
