Natural and artificial collectives exhibit heterogeneities across different dimensions,
contributing to the complexity of their behavior. We investigate the effect of two such …

Inter-individual differences are studied in natural systems, such as fish, bees, and humans,
as they contribute to the complexity of both individual and collective behaviors. However …

Collective decision-making enables multi-robot systems to act autonomously in real-world
environments. Existing collective decision-making mechanisms suffer from the so-called …

Swarm robotics promises adaptability to unknown situations and robustness against failures.
However, it still struggles with global tasks that require understanding the broader context in …

The evolution of opinions in collectives is influenced by, and simultaneously influences, the
interaction network. Simple rules like conformity and homophily drive the co-evolution of …

When sizing a multi-robot swarm, a key quantity to be considered is the swarm's agent
density. In the field of multi-robot and multi-agent systems, it has been acknowledged that …

This paper addresses the multi-objective strongly convex optimization problem by designing
a fixed-time optimization based on second-order integral multi-agent systems. The proposed …
