Proactive-reactive detection and mitigation of intermittent faults in robot swarms
Sinan OÄuz, Emanuele Garone, Marco Dorigo +1
Intermittent faults are transient errors that sporadically appear and disappear. Although intermittent faults pose substantial challenges to reliability and coordination, existing…
Online automatic code generation for robot swarms: LLMs and self-organizing hierarchy
Weixu Zhu, Marco Dorigo, Mary Katherine Heinrich
Our recently introduced self-organizing nervous system (SoNS) provides robot swarms with 1) ease of behavior design and 2) global estimation of the swarm configuration and its coll…
Centralization vs. decentralization in multi-robot sweep coverage with ground robots and UAVs
Aryo Jamshidpey, Mostafa Wahby, Michael Allwright +3
In swarm robotics, decentralized control is often proposed as a more scalable and fault-tolerant alternative to centralized control. However, centralized behaviors are often faster…
Collective decision making by embodied neural agents
Nicolas Coucke, Mary Katherine Heinrich, Axel Cleeremans +2
Collective decision making using simple social interactions has been studied in many types of multi-agent systems, including robot swarms and human social networks. However, existi…
