Role of fluid-density correlations in hydrodynamics: a multiparticle collision dynamics simulation study

Hydrodynamic interactions play a pivotal role in the dynamical behaviour of mesoscale systems such as colloidal suspensions, yet isolating their contribution from other effects remains a key challenge. Hydrodynamic correlations within a fluid are a consequ ...

Development of a mobile robot to study the collective behavior of zebrafish

Francesco Mondada, Philippe Rétornaz, Alexey Gribovskiy, Frank Bonnet

A robot accepted by animals as conspecifics is a very powerful tool in behavioral biology, particularly in studies of gregarious animals. In this paper we present a robotic zebrafish designed for experiments on the collective animal behavior. The robot con ...

Historical contingency affects signaling strategies and competitive abilities in evolving populations of simulated robots

Dario Floreano, Laurent Keller

One of the key innovations during the evolution of life on earth has been the emergence of efficient communication systems, yet little is known about the causes and consequences of the great diversity within and between species. By conducting experimental ...

Grouping trumps pooling and centroids in crowding

Michael Herzog, Bilge Sayim, Mauro Manassi

In the periphery, discrimination of a target is usually impaired by flanking elements. This crowding effect is often explained in terms of pooling, ie target and flanker signals are averaged. The pooling hypothesis predicts stronger crowding when more flan ...

Dealing with Mid-Air Collisions in Dense Collective Aerial Systems

Dario Floreano, Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Severin Leven

The idea of creating collective aerial systems is appealing because several rather simple flying vehicles could join forces to cover a large area in little time in applications such as monitoring, mapping, search and rescue, or airborne communication relay ...

Enabling Collective Operation of Indoor Flying Robots

James Roberts

Collective flying robots show great potential in many diverse indoor applications. Their added robustness, parallel operation and redundancy has clear advantages over a single flying robot. However, flying within cluttered and unprepared indoor environment ...

How grouping determines crowding

Michael Herzog, Bilge Sayim, Mauro Manassi

The spacing between target and flankers is one of the main factors of crowding. The closer the flankers are to the target, the stronger is crowding. Recently, it was proposed that crowding strength is determined by the distance between target and flanker c ...

Bio-inspired swarming for dynamic radio access based on diffusion adaptation

Ali H. Sayed

The goal of this paper is to study the learning abilities of adaptive networks in the context of cognitive radio networks and to investigate how well they assist in allocating power and communications resources in the frequency domain. The allocation mecha ...

Enabling Large-Scale Collective Systems in Outdoor Aerial Robotics

Severin Leven

For many real-life applications such as monitoring, mapping, search-and-rescue or ad-hoc communication networks, fleets of flying robots are expected to out-perform existing solutions. Robots can join forces to cover larger areas in less time, act as effic ...

All-optical control of the quantum flow of a polariton condensate

Romuald Houdré, Cristiano Ciuti

Although photons in vacuum are massless particles that do not appreciably interact with each other, significant interactions appear in suitable nonlinear media, leading to hydrodynamic behaviours typical of quantum fluids(1-6). Here, we show the generation ...
