My major motivation to think about swarm robotics is the question of how probabilistic local
actions of small robots sum up to rational global patterns shown by the swarm. For the …

Swarm Intelligence (SI) is a popular multi-agent framework that has been originally inspired
by swarm behaviors observed in natural systems, such as ant and bee colonies. In a system …

Mobile robots are playing a significant role in Higher Education science and engineering
teaching, as they offer a flexible platform to explore and teach a wide-range of topics such as …

Pheromones are chemical substances released into the environment by an individual
animal, which elicit stereotyped behaviours widely found across the animal kingdom …

In this paper, we present a new bio-inspired vision system embedded for micro-robots. The
vision system takes inspiration from locusts in detecting fast approaching objects …

Fiducial markers have a wide field of applications in robotics, ranging from external
localisation of single robots or robotic swarms, over self-localisation in marker-augmented …

In this paper, we proposed a pheromone-based aggregation method based on the state-of-
the-art BEECLUST algorithm. We investigated the impact of pheromone-based …

Flocking is a social animals' common behaviour observed in nature. It has a great potential
for real-world applications such as exploration in agri-robotics using low-cost robotic …

Swarm robotics studies the intelligent collective behaviour emerging from long-term
interactions of large number of simple robots. However, maintaining a large number of …

Missions in extreme environments such as exploration and mapping of chemical leakage,
radiation and high temperature are hazardous for human workers. Therefore, robotic …
