Proceedings Article
The Player/Stage Project: Tools for Multi-Robot and Distributed Sensor Systems
TL;DR: Current usage of Player and Stage is reviewed, and some interesting research opportunities opened up by this infrastructure are identified.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Most valuable player: a robot device server for distributed control
Brian P. Gerkey,Richard T. Vaughan,Kasper Stoy,Andrew Howard,Gaurav S. Sukhatme,Maja J. Matarić +5 more
TL;DR: Player combines an efficient message protocol with a simple device model that provides transparent network access to a collection of sensors and actuators, often comprising a robot, and is implemented as a multithreaded TCP socket server.
Journal ArticleDOI
Massively multi-robot simulation in stage
TL;DR: Stage’s scalability is examined to suggest that it may be useful for swarm robotics researchers who would otherwise use custom simulators, with their attendant disadvantages in terms of code reuse and transparency.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
On device abstractions for portable, reusable robot code
TL;DR: This paper proposes that PADI could be a starting point for development of a standard platform for robot interfacing, independent of Player, to enable code portability and re-use, while still providing access to the unique capabilities of individual devices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experiments in Automatic Flock Control
TL;DR: This is the first example of a robot system that exploits and controls an animal’s behaviour to achieve a useful task and a potential-field model of flocking behaviour was constructed and used to investigate methods for generalised flock control.
