This brief proposes a bearing-only collision-free formation coordination strategy for
networked heterogeneous robots, where each robot only measures the relative bearings of …

The robotic shepherding problem has earned significant research interest over the last few
decades due to its potential application in precision agriculture. In this article, we first …

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

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 …

Stigmergy is a form of indirect communication and coordination in which agents modify the
environment to pass information to their peers. In nature, animals use stigmergy by, for …

This paper introduces a hybrid robotic swarm system architecture that combines virtual and
physical components and enables human–swarm interaction through mixed reality (MR) …

This paper proposes a new method for the full 6 degrees of freedom pose estimation of a
circular fiducial marker. This circular black-and-white planar marker provides a unique and …

Swarm robotics finds inspiration in nature to model behaviors, such as the use of
pheromone principles. Pheromones provide an indirect and decentralized communication …

The mining industry is the leading supplier of raw materials in modern society. This sector of
