Autonomous Self-assembly in a Swarm-bot
Multi-robot systems have been studied in tasks that require the robots to be physically linked. In such a configuration, a group of robots may navigate a terrain that proves too difficult for a single robot. On the contrary, many collective tasks can be accomplished more efficiently by a group of independent robots. This paper is about swarm-bot, a robotic system that can operate in both config...
متن کاملThe SWARM-BOTS Project
This paper provides an overview of the SWARM-BOTS project, a robotic project sponsored by the Future and Emerging Technologies program of the European Commission. The paper illustrates the goals of the project, the robot prototype and the 3D simulator we built. It also reports on the results of experimental work in which distributed adaptive controllers are used to control a group of real, or s...
متن کاملSwarm-Bots to the Rescue
We explore the problem of resource allocation in a system made up of autonomous agents that can either carry out tasks individually or, when necessary, cooperate by forming physical connections with each other. We consider a group transport scenario that involves transporting broken robots to a repair zone. Some broken robots can be transported by an individual ‘rescue’ robot, whereas other bro...
متن کاملSWARM-BOTS: Physical Interactions in Collective Robotics
We present a new type of robot concept called swarm-bot, based on cooperative and swarm intelligence, that was developed within an interdisciplinary project sponsored by the Future and Emerging Technologies of the European Commission. A swarm-bot is an assembly of several mobile robots (called s-bots), which can operate both autonomously and as a group. The unique feature of the project is that...
متن کاملAutonomous Movement and Self-Assembly**
Many complex systems–from swarming bacteria and schooling fish to transportation networks and capital markets–show a number of characteristics in common, among which are autonomous movement of the components of these systems, and interactions (which can be both attractive and repulsive) among these components.[1] We have begun a program to explore complexity by designing and fabricating/ synthe...
