Swarms, which stem from collective behaviors among individual elements, are commonly
seen in nature. Since two decades ago, scientists have been attempting to understand the …

This article surveys recent progress and discusses future opportunities for simultaneous
localization and mapping (SLAM) in extreme underground environments. SLAM in …

Through cooperation, robot swarms can perform tasks or solve problems that a single robot
from the swarm could not perform/solve by itself. However, it has been shown that a single …

The human ability to learn, generalize, and control complex manipulation tasks through multi-
modality feedback suggests a unique capability, which we refer to as dexterity intelligence …

Abstract Most applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) are designed for a confined and
specific task. However, there are many scenarios that call for a more general AI, capable of …

This paper reports on the state of the art in underground SLAM by discussing different SLAM
strategies and results across six teams that participated in the three-year-long SubT …

The collective behaviors of animals, from schooling fish to packing wolves and flocking
birds, display plenty of fascinating phenomena that result from simple interaction rules …

Robustness is key to engineering, automation, and science as a whole. However, the
property of robustness is often underpinned by costly requirements such as over …

Intelligent robotics has the potential to revolutionize various industries by amplifying output,
streamlining operations, and enriching customer interactions. This systematic literature …

Whereas naturally occurring swarms thrive when crowded, physical interactions in robotic
swarms are either avoided or carefully controlled, thus limiting their operational density …
