Cooperation through self-assembly in multi-robot

Francesco Mondada, Michael Bonani, Roderich Gross

This article illustrates the methods and results of two sets of experiments in which a group of mobile robots, called s-bots, are required to physically connect to each other, that is, to self-assemble, to cope with environmental conditions that prevent th ...

Vulnerabilities in Epidemic Forwarding

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Alaeddine El Fawal

We identify vulnerabilities in epidemic forwarding. We address broadcast applications over wireless ad-hoc networks. Epidemic forwarding employs several mechanisms such as inhibition and spread control and each of them can be achieved using different alter ...

Detecting Malicious Code by Model Checking

Johannes Kinder

The ease of compiling malicious code from source code in higher programming languages has increased the volatility of malicious programs: The first appearance of a new worm in the wild is usually followed by modified versions in quick succession. As demons ...

Evolving Self-Organizing Behaviors for a Swarm-bot

Dario Floreano, Francesco Mondada, Roderich Gross, Jean-Louis Deneubourg, Luca Maria Gambardella

In this paper, we introduce a self-assembling and self-organizing artifact, called a swarm-bot, composed of a swarm of s-bots, mobile robots with the ability to connect to and to disconnect from each other. We discuss the challenges involved in controlling ...

SWARM Robotics: A Different Approach to Service Robotics

Dario Floreano, Francesco Mondada, Mirco Dorigo, Luca Maria Gambardella

Service robotics, as it has been intended so far, views the accomplishment of a service mission mainly as the result of the action of a single robot. Swarm robotics tackles the very same problem from a different stance, \ie as the result of a team effort ...
