A robot swarm is a decentralized system characterized by locality of sensing and
communication, self-organization, and redundancy. These characteristics allow robot …

Stigmergy is a form of indirect communication and coordination in which individuals
influence their peers by modifying the environment in various ways, including rearranging …

Multi-agent system research is a hot topic in different application domains. In robotics, multi-
agent robot systems (MRS) can realize complex tasks even if the behavior of each agent …

Collaborative robots represent an evolution in the field of swarm robotics that is pervasive in
modern industrial undertakings from manufacturing to exploration. Though there has been …

The area coverage problem solution is one of the vital research areas which can benefit
from swarm robotics. The greatest challenge to the swarm robotics system is to complete the …

The paper offers a novel technique for resolving the multi-robot cooperation for stick carrying
applications. The problem addresses the computation of a collision-free optimal path from a …

In this article we present a new plug-in for the ARGoS swarm robotic simulator to implement
the E-Puck2 robot model, including its graphical representation, sensors and actuators. We …

This paper presents a case of experimentation with heterogeneous robots swarms
(quadrotors and differential drive robots) where part of the agents are real and the rest are …

Research with swarm robotics systems can be complicated, time-consuming, and often
expensive in terms of space and resources. The situation is even worse for studies involving …

In this paper, we present an open-source integration of the Buzz swarm programming
language with the Pi-puck robot platform. We then analyse the effect of packet loss and …
