چکیده

Although much work has been done on designing autonomy and user interfaces for managing small teams of independent robots, much less is known about managing large-scale bio-inspired robot (BIRT) teams. In this paper, we explore human interaction with BIRT teams in an information foraging task. We summarize results from two small experiments that use two types of BIRT teams in a foraging task. The results illustrate differences in BIRT performance for different types of human interaction, and illustrate how performance robustness can vary as a function of interaction type.

Enabling Human Interaction with Bio-Inspired Robot Teams: Topologies, Leaders, Predators, and Stakeholders

This report formalizes the problem of human-interaction with bio-inspired robot teams (HuBIRT) and then systematically explores properties of various biological collectives that allow human interaction. The goal is to identify models, topologies, and control strategies that allow a decentralized agent collective to be appropriately influenced by a human. Evidence is provided that nearest neighb...

Toward a Terramechanics for Bio-Inspired Locomotion in Granular Environments

Granular media (GM) present locomotor challenges for terrestrial and extraterrestrial devices because they can flow and solidify in response to localized intrusion of wheels, limbs, and bodies. While the development of airplanes and submarines is aided by understanding of hydrodynamics, fundamental theory does not yet exist to describe the complex interactions of locomotors with GM. In this pap...

Bio-urban design and the Hidden Rules of Nature

There was a turning point in each period of time which human has discovered a new sight about the world and nature order in a way, and then has presented this relation by numeral, artful and industrial language. Biourbanism focuses on the urban organism, considering it as a hyper complex system, according to its internal and external dynamics and their mutual interactions. Nowadays when it is t...
