Groups of robots can be tasked with identifying a location in an environment where a feature cue is past a threshold, then disseminating this information throughout the group – such as identifying a high-enough elevation location to place a communications tower. This is a continuous-cue target searc…
Robot swarms have the potential to revolutionize areas ranging from warehouse management and agriculture to underwater and space exploration. However, there remains a substantial gap between theory and robot implementation. While algorithms might assume reliable communication, perfect sensing, and i…
We present a distributed Bayesian algorithm for robot swarms to classify a spatially distributed feature of an environment. This type of "go/no-go" decision appears in applications where a group of robots must collectively choose whether to take action, such as determining if a farm field should be…
This letter presents an experimental study on balance recovery control with a lower limb exoskeleton robot. Four participants were subjected to a perturbation during standing, a forward force impulse applied to their pelvis that forced them to step forward with the right leg for balance recovery. Tr
