The study of multi-agent systems such as drone swarms has been intensified due to their
cooperative behavior. Nonetheless, automating the control of a swarm is challenging as …

Swarm robotics deals with the design, construction, and deployment of large groups of
robots that coordinate and cooperatively solve a problem or perform a task. It takes …

Abstract The cooperation of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and Mobile Robot
Manipulators (MRMs) offers enormous possibilities to modern industry. It paves the way for …

Human–swarm interaction is a frontier in the realms of swarm robotics and human-factors
engineering. However, no holistic theory has been explicitly formulated that can inform how …

In swarm robotics, decentralized control is often proposed as a more scalable and fault-
tolerant alternative to centralized control. However, centralized behaviors are often faster …

This paper addresses formation control of underactuated autonomous underwater vehicles
in three-dimensional space, using a hybrid protocol that combines aspects of centralized …

Hierarchical frameworks—a special class of directed frameworks with a layer-by-layer
architecture—can be an effective mechanism to coordinate robot swarms. Their …

Self-organized groups of robots have generally coordinated their behaviors using quite
simple social interactions. Although simple interactions are sufficient for some group …

This paper demonstrates to generate a collective behavior of a multi-legged robotic swarm
based on the evolutionary robotics approach. Most studies in swarm robotics are conducted …

We propose an approach to multi-robot coverage that combines aspects of centralized and
decentralized control, based on the existing 'mergeable nervous systems' concept. In our …
