Aggregating swarms through morphology handling design contingencies: from the sweet spot to a rich expressivity

Jeremy Fersula, Nicolas Bredeche, Olivier Dauchot

Morphological computing, the use of the physical design of a robot to ease the realization of a given task has been proven to be a relevant concept in the context of swarm robotics…

Maze-solving with density-driven swarms

Esther María Zamora Sánchez, Sébastien Billès, Paul-Henry Glinel +2

We propose a new kind of collective motion where swarms of simple agents are able to find and fix the solution of two-dimensional mazes. The model consists of active memoryless par…

Self-Aligning Active Agents with Inertia and Active Torque

Jeremy Fersula, Nicolas Bredeche, Olivier Dauchot

We extend the study of the inertial effects on the dynamics of active agents to the case where self-alignment is present. In contrast with the most common models of active particle…
