چکیده

Roborobo! is a multi-platform, highly portable, robot simulator for large-scale collective robotics experiments. Roborobo! is coded in C++, and follows the KISS guideline (”Keep it simple”). Therefore, its external dependency is solely limited to the widely available SDL library for fast 2D Graphics. Roborobo! is based on a Khepera/ePuck model. It is targeted for fast single and multi-robots simulation, and has already been used in more than a dozen published research mainly concerned with evolutionary swarm robotics, including environment-driven self-adaptation and distributed evolutionary optimization, as well as online onboard embodied evolution and embodied morphogenesis.

Swarmrobot.org - Open-hardware Microrobotic Project for Large-scale Artificial Swarms

The purpose of this paper is to give an overview of the openhardware microrobotic project swarmrobot.org and the platform Jasmine for building large-scale artificial swarms. The project targets an open development of cost-effective hardware and software for a quick implementation of swarm behavior with real robots. Detailed instructions for making the robot, open-source simulator, software libr...

Collective Perception of Environmental Features in a Robot Swarm

In order to be effective, collective decision-making strategies need to be not only fast and accurate, but sufficiently general to be ported and reused across different problem domains. In this paper, we propose a novel problem scenario, collective perception, and use it to compare three different strategies: the DMMD, DMVD, and DC strategies. The robots are required to explore their environmen...

SWARM-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...

A Two Teraflop Swarm

We introduce the Xpuck swarm, a research platform with an aggregate raw processing power in excess of two teraflops. The swarm uses 16 e-puck robots augmented with custom hardware that uses the substantial CPU and GPU processing power available from modern mobile system-on-chip devices. The augmented robots, called Xpucks, have at least an order of magnitude greater performance than previous sw...
