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 …

Multi-agent systems and multi-robot systems have been recognized as unique solutions to
complex dynamic tasks distributed in space. Their effectiveness in accomplishing these …

As collective cell migration is essential in biological processes spanning development,
healing, and cancer progression, methods to externally program cell migration are of great …

Animals, humans, and multi-robot systems operate in dynamic environments, where the
ability to respond to changing circumstances is paramount. An effective collective response …

Multi-agent pursuit-evasion tasks involving intelligent targets are notoriously challenging
coordination problems. In this paper, we investigate new ways to learn such coordinated …

Swarm robotics has experienced a rapid expansion in recent years, primarily fueled by
specialized multi-robot systems developed to achieve dedicated collective actions. These …

We study the steady-state patterns of population of the coupled oscillators that sync and
swarm, where the interaction distances among the oscillators have a finite-cutoff in the …

How does the size of a swarm affect its collective action? Despite being arguably a key
parameter, no systematic and satisfactory guiding principles exist to select the number of …

The design, construction, and testing of a large distributed system of novel, small, low-cost,
autonomous surface vehicles in the form of self-propelled buoys capable of operating in …

Observability is a property of a dynamical system that defines whether or not it is possible to
reconstruct the trajectory temporal evolution of the internal states of a system from a given …
