Enabling Urgency-aware Robot Swarm Intralogistics using Smart IoT Tags
Youssef Alboraei, Murray Groves, Shane Wen +6
Warehouse items differ in how urgently they must be moved: perishable goods, pharmaceutical shipments, and just-in-time production materials must be delivered sooner than the rest…
Emergent Culture in Minimal LLM Systems
Simon Jones, Sabine Hauert
What happens when LLM agents operate with no context outside a turn, minimal prompting, and simple tools? Inspired by swarm engineering, we give collectives of three agents the abi…
Lifelong Evolution of Swarms
Lorenzo Leuzzi, Simon Jones, Sabine Hauert +2
Adapting to task changes without forgetting previous knowledge is a key skill for intelligent systems, and a crucial aspect of lifelong learning. Swarm controllers, however, are ty…
Distributed Spatial Awareness for Robot Swarms
Simon Jones, Sabine Hauert
Building a distributed spatial awareness within a swarm of locally sensing and communicating robots enables new swarm algorithms. We use local observations by robots of each other…
Awareness in robotics: An early perspective from the viewpoint of the EIC Pathfinder Challenge "Awareness Inside''
Cosimo Della Santina, Carlos Hernandez Corbato, Burak Sisman +28
Consciousness has been historically a heavily debated topic in engineering, science, and philosophy. On the contrary, awareness had less success in raising the interest of scholars…
Swarm Performance Indicators: Metrics for Robustness, Fault Tolerance, Scalability and Adaptability
Emma Milner, Mahesh Sooriyabandara, Sabine Hauert
Swarms have distributed control and so are assumed to inherently have superior robustness, scalability and adaptability compared to centralised multi-agent systems. However, these…
DOTS: An Open Testbed for Industrial Swarm Robotic Solutions
Simon Jones, Emma Milner, Mahesh Sooriyabandara +1
We present DOTS, a new open access testbed for industrial swarm robotics experimentation. It consists of 20 fast agile robots with high sensing and computational performance, and r…
