Swarm robotics is a new approach to the coordination of large numbers of relatively simple
robots. The approach takes its inspiration from the system-level functioning of social insects …

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 …

Within the context of multiple mobile, and networked robot systems, this chapter explores the
current state of the art. After a brief introduction, we first examine architectures for multirobot …

During the COVID-19 outbreak, lockdown measures have been deployed worldwide. In the
wake of these measures, internet and social media use has reached unprecedented peaks …

Abstract Distributed Artificial Intelligence (DAI) has existed as a subfield of AI for less than
two decades. DAI is concerned with systems that consist of multiple independent entities that …

Swarm robotics is a novel approach to the coordination of large numbers of relatively simple

This survey seeks to describe methods for measuring the entropy of graphs and to
demonstrate the wide applicability of entropy measures. Setting the scene with a review of …

Political disagreement is widespread within the communication network of ordinary citizens;
furthermore, political diversity within these networks is entirely consistent with a theory of …

Diversity indices are useful single-number metrics for characterizing a complex distribution
of a set of attributes across a population of interest. The utility of these different metrics or …

Spatial networks display both topologic and geometric variations in their structure. This study
investigates the measurement of a road network structure. Existing measures of …
