چکیده
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 simulated, robots so that they perform a variety of tasks which require cooperation and coordination.

SWARM-BOT: an experiment in swarm robotics
This paper provides an overview of the SWARM-BOTS project, a robotics project sponsored by the Future and Emerging Technologies program of the European Commission (IST-2000-31010). We describe the s-bot, a small autonomous robot with self-assembling capabilities that we designed and built within the project. Then we illustrate the cooperative object transport scenario that we chose to use as a ...
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 کاملSwarm-bot: A Novel Type of Self-Assembling Robot
Swarm robotics [3] is a relatively new and rapidly growing field in collective robotics. It involves the study of robotic systems made up of cooperating robots. I have been invited here to report on work we carried out in the SWARM-BOTS project, a project funded by the Future and Emerging Technologies program of the European Commission. This work is directly inspired by the collective behavior ...
متن کاملSwarm Robotics: A Different Approach to Service Robotics
Service robotics, as it has been intended so far, views the accomplishment of a service mission mainly as the result of the action of a single robot. Swarm robotics tackles the very same problem from a different stance, i.e., as the result of a team effort of simple units. The project described here shows this particular approach. It defines first one simple unit (s-bot) capable of independentl...
متن کاملDefinition, Implementation, and Calibration of the Swarmbot3D Simulator
This Technical Report describes the final version of the simulating software Swarmbot3d implementing the swarm-bot simulator as outlined in Workpackage 3, ”Simulator Prototype”. The document presents all the simulator’s features and acts as a developer’s manual. It describes the implementation choices and software components. It is complemented with the simulator software in its final version, ...
متن کاملExplain the optimal pattern in the contracts of public private Participation construction, exploitation and transfer (BOT) Applied to Contracts Theory
In recent decade in developing countries, lack of government budget or lack of access to modern technology, persuade governments to attract private sector participation in the economy. One of the most common methods is Public-Private Partnership agreements. The real implementation of this type of partnership needs to set contracts that satisfies preferences of both parties. This research aims t...
