Autonomous robots are expected to perform a wide range of sophisticated tasks in complex,
unknown environments. However, available onboard computing capabilities and algorithms …

Augmented reality (AR) is used to enhance the perception of the real world by integrating
virtual objects to an image sequence acquired from various camera technologies. Numerous …

We investigate how reliable movement can emerge in aggregates of highly error-prone
individuals. The individuals—robotic modules—move stochastically using vibration motors …

Pheromones are chemical substances released into the environment by an individual
animal, which elicit stereotyped behaviours widely found across the animal kingdom …

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 …

How groups of cooperative foragers can achieve efficient and robust collective foraging is of
interest both to biologists studying social insects and engineers designing swarm robotics …

Connected and automated vehicles and robot swarms hold transformative potential for
enhancing safety, efficiency, and sustainability in the transportation and manufacturing …

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 …

Abstract Purpose of Review We review recent research on swarm robot foraging and
contextualize it with foundational work. Recent work can be divided into two complementary …

The Kilobot is a popular platform for swarm robotics research due to its low cost and ease of
manufacturing. Despite this, the effort to bootstrap the design of new behaviours and the …
