Self-Organised Coordinated Motion in Groups of Physically Connected Robots

Francesco Mondada, Michael Bonani, Mirco Dorigo

An important goal of collective robotics is the design of control systems that allow groups of robots to accomplish common tasks by coordinating without centralized control. In this paper, we study how a group of physically assembled robots can display coh ...

ASEBA, an event-based middleware for distributed robot control

Francesco Mondada, Stéphane Magnenat, Valentin Longchamp

Computing infrastructures of mobile robots have grown in complexity in the last decades; They have evolved from single processor systems to networks of microcontrollers communicating through a shared bus. This has induced additional architectural constrain ...

Performance Benefits of Self-Assembly in a Swarm-Bot

Francesco Mondada, Michael Bonani, Roderich Gross

Mobile robots are said to be capable of self-assembly when they can autonomously form physical connections with each other. Despite the recent proliferation of self-assembling systems, little work has been done on using self-assembly to add functional valu ...

Social Integration of Robots into Groups of Cockroaches to Control Self-Organized Choices

Francesco Mondada, Alcherio Martinoli, Roland Siegwart, Gilles Caprari, Fabien Tâche, Jean-Louis Deneubourg, Masoud Asadpour, Nicolaus Correll

Collective behavior based on self-organization has been shown in group-living animals from insects to vertebrates. These findings have stimulated engineers to investigate approaches for the coordination of autonomous multirobot systems based on self-organi ...

Group Transport Along a Robot Chain in a Self-Organised Robot Colony

Francesco Mondada, Michael Bonani, Roderich Gross

We study groups of autonomous robots engaged in a foraging task as typically found in some ant colonies. The task is to find a prey object and a nest object, establish a path between the two, and transport the prey to the nest. Once a path is established, ...

Autonomous Self-assembly in a Swarm-bot

Francesco Mondada, Michael Bonani, Roderich Gross

Multi-robot systems have been studied in tasks that require the robots to be physically linked. In such a configuration, a group of robots may navigate a terrain that proves too difficult for a single robot. On the contrary, many collective tasks can be ac ...

Autonomous Self-assembly in Swarm-Bots

Francesco Mondada, Michael Bonani, Roderich Gross

In this paper, we discuss the self-assembling capabilities of the swarm-bot, a distributed robotics concept that lies at the intersection between collective and self-reconfigurable robotics. A swarm-bot comprises autonomous mobile robots called s-bots. S-b ...

Cooperation through self-assembly in multi-robot

Francesco Mondada, Michael Bonani, Roderich Gross

This article illustrates the methods and results of two sets of experiments in which a group of mobile robots, called s-bots, are required to physically connect to each other, that is, to self-assemble, to cope with environmental conditions that prevent th ...

Superlinear Physical Performances in a SWARM-BOT

Francesco Mondada, André Guignard, Dario Floreano, Stéphane Magnenat, Michael Bonani, Christoph Studer

A swarm-bot is a robotic entity built of several autonomous mobile robots (called s-bots) physically connected together. This form of collective robotics exploits robot interactions both at the behavioral and physical levels. The goal of this paper is to a ...
