Group Transport Along a Robot Chain in a Self-Organised Robot Colony

Francesco Mondada, Michael Bonani, Roderich Gross

We study groups of autonomous robots engaged in a foraging task as typically found in some ant colonies. The task is to find a prey object and a nest object, establish a path between the two, and transport the prey to the nest. Once a path is established, ...

Co-evolution of Structures and Controllers for Neubot Underwater Modular Robots

Dario Floreano, Auke Ijspeert

This article presents the first results of a project in underwater modular robotics, called Neubots. The goals of the projects are to explore, following Von Neumann’s ideas, potential mechanisms underlying self-organization and self-replication. We briefly ...

SWARM-BOT: From Concept to Implementation

Dario Floreano, Francesco Mondada, André Guignard, Michael Bonani, Michel Lauria

This paper presents a new robotic concept, called SWARM-BOT, based on a swarm of autonomous mobile robots with self-assembling capabilities. SWARM-BOT takes advantage from collective and distributed approaches to ensure robustness to failures and to hard e ...

SWARM-BOT: Pattern Formation in a Swarm of Self-Assembling Mobile Robots

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

In this paper we introduce a new robotic system, called swarm-bot. The system consists of a swarm of mobile robots with the ability to connect to/disconnect from each other to self-assemble into different kinds of structures. First, we describe our vision ...
