We provide a comparison of a series of original coordination mechanisms for the distributed boundary coverage problem with a swarm of miniature robots. Our analysis is based on real robot experimentation and models at different levels of abstraction. Distr ...
Swarm intelligence, and swarm robotics in particular, are reaching a point where leveraging the potential of communication within an artificial systempromises to uncover newand varied directions for interesting research without compromising the key propert ...
We present a modified version of the Particle swarm Optimization algorithm in which we adjust the virtual swarm search by incorporating inter-agent dynamics native to multi-robot search scenarios. The neighborhood structure of PSO is modified to accurately ...
We consider a model for interacting objects, where the evolution of each object is given by a finite state Markov chain, whose transition matrix depends on the present and the past of the distribution of states of all objects. This is a general model of wi ...
We explore using particle swarm optimization on problems with noisy performance evaluation, focusing on unsupervised robotic learning. We adapt a technique of overcoming noise used in genetic algorithms for use with particle swarm optimization, and evaluat ...
Review of: Swarm Intelligence: From Natural to Artificial Systems by Eric Bonabeau, Marco Dorigo, and Guy Theraulaz, Oxford University Press, 1999, 307 pp. ...
The swarm intelligence literature frequently asserts that swarms exhibit high levels of robustness. That claim is, however, rather less frequently supported by empirical or theoretical analysis. But what do we mean by a 'robust' swarm? How would we measure ...
