We study how robot swarms can achieve a consensus on the best among a set of n possible
options available in the environment. While the robots rely on local communication with one …

To succeed in their objectives, groups of individuals must be able to make quick and
accurate collective decisions on the best among alternatives with different qualities. Group …

Formation control is a prerequisite for the formation to complete specified tasks safely and
efficiently. Considering non-symmetrical communication interference and network …

We present a novel control scheme for robot swarms that exploits the computation layer of a
blockchain to coordinate the actions of individual robots in real-time. To accomplish this, we …

Making fast and accurate consensus decisions through local communication and
decentralised control in a swarm of simple robots can be a very challenging endeavour. In …

The increasing demand for wireless sensor networks to monitor specific regions has
prompted extensive research on sustaining coverage over time. The main threat to this goal …

To succeed in their objectives, groups of individuals must be able to make quick and
accurate collective decisions on the best option among a set of alternatives with different …

The precise modulation of activity through inhibitory signals ensures that both insect
colonies and neural circuits operate efficiently and adaptively, highlighting the fundamental …

Coverage holes are a key problem in wireless sensor networks. Methods that use relative
localization techniques to restore the service, or heal the holes, rely on accurate range and …

Solving complex problems collectively with simple entities is a challenging task for swarm
robotics. For the task of collective decision-making, robots decide based on local …
