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, ...

Evolving a cooperative transport behavior for two simple robots

Roderich Gross

This paper addresses the problem of cooperative transport of an object by a group of two simple autonomous mobile robots called s-bots. S-bots are able to establish physical connections between each other and with an object called the prey. The environment ...

Cooperative transport of objects of different shapes and sizes

Roderich Gross

This paper addresses the design of control policies for groups of up to 16 simple autonomous mobile robots (called s-bots) for the cooperative transport of heavy objects of different shapes and sizes. The s-bots are capable of establishing physical connect ...

Group transport of an object to a target that only some group members may sense

Roderich Gross

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 situation in which some robots are given the opportunity to localize the target ...

The SWARM-BOTS project

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

This paper provides an overview of the SWARM-BOTS project, a robotic project sponsored by the Future and Emerging Technologies program of the European Community (IST-2000-31010). The paper illustrates the robot hardware, and the results of experimental wor ...

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 ...

Evolving aggregation behaviors in a swarm of robots

Roderich Gross

In this paper, we study aggregation in a swarm of simple robots, called s-bots, having the capability to self-organize and self-assemble to form a robotic system, called a swarm-bot. The aggregation process, observed in many biological systems, is of funda ...

Evolving chess playing programs

Roderich Gross

This contribution introduces a hybrid GP/ES system for the evolution of chess playing computer programs. We discuss the basic system and examine its performance in comparison to pre-existing algorithms of the type alpha-beta and its improved variants. We c ...

Self-Assembling Robots

Roderich Gross

Self-assembly is a process by which pre-existing components organize into patterns or structures without human intervention. Such processes are responsible for the generation of much of the order in nature. This thesis investigates the use of self-assembly ...
