Swarm intelligence principles have been widely studied and applied to a number of different
tasks where a group of autonomous robots is used to solve a problem with a distributed …

The ability to collectively choose the best among a finite set of alternatives is a fundamental
cognitive skill for robot swarms. In this paper, we propose a formal definition of the best-of-n …

My major motivation to think about swarm robotics is the question of how probabilistic local
actions of small robots sum up to rational global patterns shown by the swarm. For the …

To effectively perform collective monitoring of dynamic environments, a robot swarm needs
to adapt to changes by processing the latest information and discarding outdated beliefs. We …

Mobile robots are playing a significant role in Higher Education science and engineering
teaching, as they offer a flexible platform to explore and teach a wide-range of topics such as …

Swarm Robotics (SR) is an extension of the study of Multi-Robot Systems that exploits
concepts of communication, coordination and collaboration among a large number of robots …

Robotic swarms that take inspiration from nature are becoming a fascinating topic for multi-
robot researchers. The aim is to control a large number of simple robots in order to solve …

In this paper, we present a new bio-inspired vision system embedded for micro-robots. The
vision system takes inspiration from locusts in detecting fast approaching objects …

Collective decision making is the ability of individuals to jointly make a decision without any
centralized leadership, but only relying on local interactions. A special case is represented …

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 …
