Engineered Self-Organization for Resilient Robot Self-Assembly with Minimal Surprise
Tanja Katharina Kaiser, Heiko Hamann
In collective robotic systems, the automatic generation of controllers for complex tasks is still a challenging problem. Open-ended evolution of complex robot behaviors can be a po…
A Robot to Shape your Natural Plant: The Machine Learning Approach to Model and Control Bio-Hybrid Systems
Mostafa Wahby, Mary Katherine Heinrich, Daniel Nicolas Hofstadler +5
Bio-hybrid systems---close couplings of natural organisms with technology---are high potential and still underexplored. In existing work, robots have mostly influenced group behavi…
Sooner than Expected: Hitting the Wall of Complexity in Evolution
Thomas Schmickl, Payam Zahadat, Heiko Hamann
In evolutionary robotics an encoding of the control software, which maps sensor data (input) to motor control values (output), is shaped by stochastic optimization methods to compl…
Towards Swarm Calculus: Urn Models of Collective Decisions and Universal Properties of Swarm Performance
Heiko Hamann
Methods of general applicability are searched for in swarm intelligence with the aim of gaining new insights about natural swarms and to develop design methodologies for artificial…
