Signal propagation in complex networks drives epidemics, is responsible for information
going viral, promotes trust and facilitates moral behavior in social groups, enables the …

Multi-agent systems and multi-robot systems have been recognized as unique solutions to
complex dynamic tasks distributed in space. Their effectiveness in accomplishing these …

We study the emergent behaviors of a population of swarming coupled oscillators, dubbed
swarmalators. Previous work considered the simplest, idealized case: identical …

We present the self-organizing nervous system (SoNS), a robot swarm architecture based
on self-organized hierarchy. The SoNS approach enables robots to autonomously establish …

Connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) have the potential to significantly improve the
safety and efficiency of traffic. One revolutionary CAV's impact on transportation system is …

In this paper, we present an implementation of social learning for swarm robotics. We
consider social learning as a distributed online reinforcement learning method applied to a …

Abstract Information for organismal patterning can come from a variety of sources. We
investigate the possibility that instructive influences for normal embryonic development are …

Group formation and coordination are fundamental characteristics of living matter, essential
for performing tasks and ensuring survival. Interactions between individuals play a key role …

How does the size of a swarm affect its collective action? Despite being arguably a key
parameter, no systematic and satisfactory guiding principles exist to select the number of …

Strongly opinionated minorities can have a dramatic impact on the opinion dynamics of a
large population. Two factions of inflexible minorities, polarised into two competing opinions …
