Natural disastrous events are part and parcel of our times and do occur when we least
expect it to strike us. Disasters which take place in the vicinity of human livelihood due to …

Autonomous vehicles have been highlighted as a major growth area for future transportation
systems and the deployment of large numbers of these vehicles is expected when safety …

Pheromone-based communication is one of the most effective ways of communication
widely observed in nature. It is particularly used by social insects such as bees, ants and …

With the growing reliability of modern ad hoc networks, it is encouraging to analyze the
potential involvement of autonomous ad hoc agents in critical situations where human …

Area coverage and collective exploration are key challenges for swarm robotics. Previous
research in this field has drawn inspiration from ant colonies, with real, or more commonly …

Biologically inspired strategies have long been adapted to swarm robotic systems, including
biased random walks, reaction to chemotactic cues and long-range coordination. In this …

This paper presents a novel bio-inspired hybrid communication framework that incorporates
the repelling behaviour of anti-aphrodisiac pheromones and attractive behaviour of …

This paper proposes an artificial pheromone communication system inspired by social
insects. The proposed model is an extension of the previously developed pheromone …

In case of a natural disaster, the use of human-robot cooperation is a great option, for this
reason the research area Robotic Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) is very promising. This …

A key challenge for any animal (or sampling technique) is to avoid wasting time by
searching for resources (information) in places already found to be unprofitable. In biology …
