Communication constraints can significantly impact robots’ ability to share information, coordinate their movements, and synchronize their actions, thus limiting coordination in Multi-Robot Exploration (MRE) applications. In this work, we address these challenges by modeling the MRE application as a…
Self-organized emergent patterns can be widely seen in particle interactions producing complex structures such as chemical elements and molecules. Inspired by these interactions, this work presents a novel stochastic approach that allows a swarm of heterogeneous robots to create emergent patterns in
This paper presents a novel methodology that allows a swarm of robots to perform a cooperative transportation task. Our approach consists of modeling the swarm as a Gibbs Random Field (GRF), taking advantage of this framework’s locality properties. By setting appropriate potential functions, robots…
This paper presents a novel approach that allows a swarm of heterogeneous robots to produce simultaneously segregative and flocking behaviors using only local sensing. These behaviors have been widely studied in swarm robotics and their combination allows the execution of several complex tasks. Our…
