We compare two well-known algorithms for locating odor sources in environments with a main wind flow. Their plume tracking performance is tested through systematic experiments with real robots in a wind tunnel under laminar flow condition. We present the s ...

Coordination schemes for distributed boundary coverage with a swarm of miniature robots

Nicolaus Correll

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 ...

Because of their excellent olfactory sense, dogs are often used to find bombs, mines, drugs, or people buried by avalanches. For such applications, autonomous mobile robots could be used in the future. Electronic sensors already exist for a wide variety of ...

Modeling and simulation can be powerful tools for analyzing multi-agent systems, such as networked robotic systems and sensor networks. In this paper, it is shown concretely how instances of both these elements fit into a general methodology for multi-leve ...

Multi-robot systems have been studied in tasks that require the robots to be physically linked. In such a configuration, a group of robots may navigate a terrain that proves too difficult for a single robot. On the contrary, many collective tasks can be ac ...

We apply an adapted version of Particle Swarm Optimization to distributed unsupervised robotic learning in groups of robots with only local information. The performance of the learning technique for a simple task is compared across robot groups of various ...

InsBot: Design of an Autonomous Mini Mobile Robot Able to Interact with Cockroaches

Roland Siegwart, Gilles Caprari

This paper presents general ideas on design and implementation of robots to be used together with groups of animals. This work is part of the European project LEURRE aiming to study, model and control mixed societies of animals and robots. After a short pr ...

Physical connections and cooperation in swarm robotics

Dario Floreano, Francesco Mondada, André Guignard, Michael Bonani, Stéphane Magnenat

We describe a new multi-robot system, named SWARM-BOTS, that exploits physical inter-connections to solve tasks that are impossible for a single robot. This is for instance the case of passing large gaps or high steps in all-terrain conditions. In order to ...

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 ...
