This work presents a review and discussion of the challenges that must be solved in order to
successfully develop swarms of Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs) for real world operations. From …

Swarm Robotics (SR) is an extension of the study of Multi-Robot Systems that exploits
concepts of communication, coordination and collaboration among a large number of robots …

Abstract Purpose of Review We review recent research on swarm robot foraging and
contextualize it with foundational work. Recent work can be divided into two complementary …

Robot swarms mimic natural systems in which collective abilities emerge from the interaction
of individuals. So far, the swarm robotics literature has focused on the emergence of …

We present the Kilogrid, an open-source virtualization environment and data logging
manager for the Kilobot robot, Kilobot for short. The Kilogrid has been designed to extend …

Research in swarm robotics has shown that automatic design is an effective approach to
realize robot swarms. In automatic design methods, the collective behavior of a swarm is …

We present and describe an infrastructure that provides researchers an integrated
environment for swarm robotics experiments. The infrastructure includes both a simulation …

Designing resource-collection algorithms for relatively simple robots that are effective given
the noise and uncertainty of the real world is a challenge in swarm robotics. This paper …

This paper presents a hardware revision of the Pi-puck extension board that now includes
support for the e-puck2. This Raspberry Pi interface for the e-puck robot provides a feature …

When designing swarm-robotic systems, systematic comparison of algorithms from different
domains is necessary to determine which is capable of scaling up to handle the target …
