Group formation and cohesion of active particles with visual perception-dependent motility.
TL;DR: It is found that a mere motility change of the individuals in response to the visual perception of their peers induces group formation and cohesion and is relevant not only for the self-organization of living systems, but also for the design of robust and scalable autonomous systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Machine learning for active matter
TL;DR: This research direction promises to help disentangle the complexity of active matter and gain fundamental insights for instance in collective behaviour of systems at many length scales from colonies of bacteria to animal flocks.

Flocks, herds and schools: A distributed behavioral model
TL;DR: In this article, an approach based on simulation as an alternative to scripting the paths of each bird individually is explored, with the simulated birds being the particles and the aggregate motion of the simulated flock is created by a distributed behavioral model much like that at work in a natural flock; the birds choose their own course.
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
ALLIANCE: an architecture for fault tolerant multirobot cooperation
TL;DR: This software architecture allows the robot team members to respond robustly, reliably, flexibly, and coherently to unexpected environmental changes and modifications in the robotteam that may occur due to mechanical failure, the learning of new skills, or the addition or removal of robots from the team by human intervention.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cooperative mobile robotics: antecedents and directions
TL;DR: A critical survey of existing works in cooperative robotics is given and open problems in this field are discussed, emphasizing the various theoretical issues that arise in the study of cooperative robotics.

Mobile Sensor Network Deployment using Potential Fields: A Distributed, Scalable Solution to the Area Coverage Problem
TL;DR: This paper presents a potential-field-based approach to deployment of a mobile sensor network, where the fields are constructed such that each node is repelled by both obstacles and by other nodes, thereby forcing the network to spread itself throughout the environment.
