Stochastic Filtering for Quorum Sensing in Robot Swarms under Anonymous Communication
Fabio Oddi, Andreagiovanni Reina, Vito Trianni
Quorum Sensing (QS) is a key capability for robot swarms, useful for coordination of activities at the group level. Effective communication is instrumental for individuals to estim…
Roadmap for Animate Matter
Giorgio Volpe, Nuno A. M. Araújo, Maria Guix +37
Humanity has long sought inspiration from nature to innovate materials and devices. As science advances, nature-inspired materials are becoming part of our lives. Animate materials…
Human-AI collectives produce the most accurate differential diagnoses
N. Zöller, J. Berger, I. Lin +10
Artificial intelligence systems, particularly large language models (LLMs), are increasingly being employed in high-stakes decisions that impact both individuals and society at lar…
Evolutionary dynamics of organised crime and terrorist networks
Luis A. Martinez-Vaquero, Valerio Dolci, Vito Trianni
Crime is pervasive into modern societies, although with different levels of diffusion across regions. Its dynamics are dependent on various socio-economic factors that make the ove…
Expertise Trees Resolve Knowledge Limitations in Collective Decision-Making
Axel Abels, Tom Lenaerts, Vito Trianni +1
Experts advising decision-makers are likely to display expertise which varies as a function of the problem instance. In practice, this may lead to sub-optimal or discriminatory dec…
Steering self-organisation through confinement
Nuno A. M. Araújo, Liesbeth M. C. Janssen, Thomas Barois +26
Self-organisation is the spontaneous emergence of spatio-temporal structures and patterns from the interaction of smaller individual units. Examples are found across many scales in…
Monitoring and mapping of crop fields with UAV swarms based on information gain
Carlos Carbone, Dario Albani, Federico Magistri +5
Monitoring crop fields to map features like weeds can be efficiently performed with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that can cover large areas in a short time due to their privileg…
Dealing with Expert Bias in Collective Decision-Making
Axel Abels, Tom Lenaerts, Vito Trianni +1
Quite some real-world problems can be formulated as decision-making problems wherein one must repeatedly make an appropriate choice from a set of alternatives. Multiple expert judg…
Signalling boosts the evolution of cooperation in repeated group interactions
Luis A. Martinez-Vaquero, Francisco C. Santos, Vito Trianni
Many biological and social systems show significant levels of collective action. Several cooperation mechanisms have been proposed, yet they have been mostly studied independently.…
Emergent naming conventions in a foraging robot swarm
Roman Miletitch, Andreagiovanni Reina, Marco Dorigo +1
In this study, we investigate the emergence of naming conventions within a swarm of robots that collectively forage, that is, collect resources from multiple sources in the environ…
Self-Organization and Artificial Life
Carlos Gershenson, Vito Trianni, Justin Werfel +1
Self-organization can be broadly defined as the ability of a system to display ordered spatio-temporal patterns solely as the result of the interactions among the system components…
Self-Organization and Artificial Life: A Review
Carlos Gershenson, Vito Trianni, Justin Werfel +1
Self-organization has been an important concept within a number of disciplines, which Artificial Life (ALife) also has heavily utilized since its inception. The term and its implic…
Model of the best-of-N nest-site selection process in honeybees
Andreagiovanni Reina, James A. R. Marshall, Vito Trianni +1
The ability of a honeybee swarm to select the best nest site plays a fundamental role in determining the future colony's fitness. To date, the nest-site selection process has mostl…
Emergence of Consensus in a Multi-Robot Network: from Abstract Models to Empirical Validation
Vito Trianni, Daniele De Simone, Andreagiovanni Reina +1
Consensus dynamics in decentralised multiagent systems are subject to intense studies, and several different models have been proposed and analysed. Among these, the naming game st…
