Journal ArticleDOI
Swarm robotics: a review from the swarm engineering perspective
TL;DR: This paper analyzes the literature from the point of view of swarm engineering and proposes two taxonomies: in the first taxonomy, works that deal with design and analysis methods are classified; in the second, works according to the collective behavior studied are classified.
Journal ArticleDOI
ARGoS: a modular, parallel, multi-engine simulator for multi-robot systems
Carlo Pinciroli,Vito Trianni,Rehan O'Grady,Giovanni Pini,Arne Brutschy,Manuele Brambilla,Nithin Mathews,Eliseo Ferrante,Gianni A. Di Caro,Frederick Ducatelle,Mauro Birattari,Luca Maria Gambardella,Marco Dorigo +12 more
TL;DR: It is shown how ARGoS can be extended to suit the needs of an experiment in which custom functionality is necessary to achieve sufficient simulation accuracy, and the efficiency and flexibility of the multi-robot simulator are assessed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Swarmanoid: A Novel Concept for the Study of Heterogeneous Robotic Swarms

Roberts,Valerio Sperati,Timothy Stirling,Alessandro Stranieri,Thomas Stützle,Vito Trianni,Elio Tuci,Ali Emre Turgut,Florian Vaussard +36 more
TL;DR: It is believed that swarm robotics designers must embrace heterogeneity if they ever want swarm robotics systems to approach the complexity required of real-world systems.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
ARGoS: A modular, multi-engine simulator for heterogeneous swarm robotics
Carlo Pinciroli,Vito Trianni,Rehan O'Grady,Giovanni Pini,Arne Brutschy,Manuele Brambilla,Nithin Mathews,Eliseo Ferrante,Gianni A. Di Caro,Frederick Ducatelle,Timothy Stirling,Álvaro Gutiérrez,Luca Maria Gambardella,Marco Dorigo +13 more
TL;DR: Results show that ARGoS can simulate about 10,000 simple wheeled robots 40% faster than real-time, and paves the way for a new approach to parallelism in robotics simulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Best-of-n Problem in Robot Swarms: Formalization, State of the Art, and Novel Perspectives
TL;DR: In this article, a formal definition of the best-of-n problem and a taxonomy that details its possible variants are presented, along with a survey of swarm robotics literature focusing on the decision-making problem.
