Strong Emergence Arising from Weak Emergence
Thomas Schmickl
Predictions of emergent phenomena, appearing on the macroscopic layer of a complex system, can fail if they are made by a microscopic model. This study demonstrates and analyses th…
CIMAX: Collective Information Maximization in Robotic Swarms Using Local Communication
Hannes Hornischer, Joshua Cherian Varughese, Ronald Thenius +3
Robotic swarms and mobile sensor networks are used for environmental monitoring in various domains and areas of operation. Especially in otherwise inaccessible environments decentr…
A Primordial Particle System in three dimensions
Thomas Schmickl, Martin Stefanec
This article describes the conversion of the two-dimensional Primordial Particle System into a threedimensional model that exhibits comparable features. We present the transformed…
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…
Artificial Plants - Vascular Morphogenesis Controller-guided growth of braided structures
Daniel Nicolas Hofstadler, Joshua Cherian Varughese, Stig Anton Nielsen +4
Natural plants are exemplars of adaptation through self-organisation and collective decision making. As such, they provide a rich source of inspiration for adaptive mechanisms in a…
Controlling Swarms: A Programming Paradigm with Minimalistic Communication
Joshua Cherian Varughese, Hannes Hornischer, Ronald Thenius +3
Inspired by natural swarms, numerous control schemes enabling robotic swarms, mobile sensor networks and other multi-agent systems to exhibit various self-organized behaviors have…
