System Identification of Self-Organizing Robotic Swarms

Alcherio Martinoli, Nicolaus Correll

We show system identification of self-organizing, swarm robotic systems using a ``gray-box'' approach, based on probabilistic macroscopic models. At hand of a well studied case study concerned with the autonomous inspection of a regular structure by a swar ...

Collective Inspection of Regular Structures using a Swarm of Miniature Robots

Alcherio Martinoli, Nicolaus Correll

We present a series of experiments concerned with the inspection of regular, engineered structures carried out using swarms of five to twenty autonomous, miniature robots, solely endowed with onboard, local sensors. Individual robot controllers are behavio ...

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, ...

We consider boundary coverage of a regular structure by a swarm of miniature robots, and compare a suite of three fully distributed coordination algorithms experimentally. All algorithms rely on boundary coverage by reactive control, whereas coordination o ...

Tracking of miniature robotic platforms involves major challenges in image recognition and data association. We present our 3-year effort into developing the platform-independent, easy-to-use, and robust tracking software SwisTrack, which is tailored to re ...

Modeling and Optimization of a Swarm-Intelligent Inspection System

Alcherio Martinoli, Nicolaus Correll

We present a simple, behavior-based, distributed control algorithm to inspect a regular structure with a swarm of autonomous, miniature robots, using only on-board, local sensors. To estimate intrinsic advantages and limita- tions of the proposed control s ...

Springer2006

We consider a swarm-intelligent inspection system concerned with the inspection of blades in a jet turbine. The system is based on a swarm of autonomous, miniature robots, using only on-board, local sensors. We capture the dynamics of the system at a highe ...

The cooperation of swarm-bots: physical interactions in collective robotics

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

We present a new type of robot concept called swarm-bot, based on cooperative and swarm intelligence, that was developed within an interdisciplinary project sponsored by the Future and Emerging Technologies of the European Commission. A swarm-bot is an ass ...

2005

We are developing a swarm-intelligent inspection system based on a swarm of autonomous, miniature robots, using only on-board, local sensors. To estimate intrinsic advantages and limitations of the proposed possible distributed control solution, we capture ...

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 ...
