Human-robot interaction (HRI) for mobile robots is still in its infancy. Most user interactions with robots have been limited to teleoperation capabilities where the most common i...
Human-robot interaction is a growing research domain; there are many approaches to robot design, depending on the particular aspects of interaction being focused on. In this paper...
A population of virtual robots is evolved to perform the task of competitively painting the floor of a toroidal room. Two robots are present in any given room and paint using dis...

This paper provides an overview of our framework, called physicomimetics, for the distributed control of swarms of robots. We focus on robotic behaviors that are similar to those s...

This paper describes the joint approach of three research groups to enable a heterogeneous team of robots to exchange belief. The communication framework presented imposes little r...
This paper addresses the cooperative transport of a heavy object, called prey, towards a sporadically changing target location by a group of robots. The study is focused on the sit...
Abstract. The task addressed here is a dynamic search through a bounded region, while avoiding multiple large obstacles, such as buildings. In the case of limited sensors and commu...

This paper deals with a cooperative control method for a multi-agent system in dynamic environment. This method enables a robot to perform flexible cooperation based on the global ...
ys when planning meant searching for a sequence of abstract actions that satisfied some symbolic predicate. Robots can now learn their own representations through statistical infe...
We postulate that multi-wheel statically-stable mobile robots for operation in human environments are an evolutionarydead end. Robots of this class tall enough to interact meaning...
