Autonomous Agents and Collective Robotics

The aim of this paper is twofold. First to take stock of the state of the AMoC project after three years of research (funded by the Swiss National Foundation for Research) by relating to available notes that we have published. Second, to show how potential collaborations may come within the framework of our research interest (in AMoC and more generally in the PAI group). Therefore, this paper does not contain any new experimental result, yet it proposes a rich synthesis allowing the state of the art of the AMoC project to be understood. All results till now have already appeared in internal working papers ([10], [11], [13], [19], [14], [21], [20], [59]), in conference proceedings ([12], [22], [16], [9], [38], [61], [60]) or in journals ([18], [37]). Papers printed in conference proceedings and/or in journals are generally short versions of internal working papers.
