DeRP: An Algorithm for Self-Assembly of Power-Delivery Networks using Recursive Branching in Information-Limited Environments
Mohammadali Rashidioun, Sangwoo Park, Petras Swissler
Delivering sustained power to distributed equipment in unstructured field environments using pre-planned wired networks or battery-based solutions presents significant infrastructu…
Contact-Driven Localization in a Freeform Robotic Self-Assembled Structure
Mohammadali Rashidioun, Michael Sosa, Petras Swissler
Accurate localization remains a key challenge in swarm robotics, particularly for self-reconfigurable systems that must identify relative positions to form diverse structures. Most…
Optimal Reconfiguration of Distributed Battery Networks Under Connectivity and Energy Constraints
Pranay KC, Amin Taghieh, Maria Angel Palacios +3
Networked battery systems arise in industrial automation, distributed energy applications, and multi-agent systems, where terminals consume energy locally and recharge only when co…
Human-in-the-Loop Swarms: A Bionic Swarm Approach to Real-World Soil Mapping
Petras Swissler, Mohammadali Rashidioun, Nicholas Sahu +3
Swarm and field robotics face significant barriers to real-world validation due to the high cost and development time to deploy hardware. This paper introduces the ``Bionic Swarm,'…
