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…
Pogobot: an Open-Source, Low-Cost Robot for Swarm Robotics and Programmable Active Matter
Alessia Loi, Loona Macabre, Jérémy Fersula +8
This paper describes the Pogobot, an open-source platform specifically designed for research at the interface of swarm robotics and active matter. Pogobot features vibration-based…
Maze-solving with density-driven swarms
Esther MarÃa 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…
Pogosim -- a Simulator for Pogobot robots
Leo Cazenille, Loona Macabre, Nicolas Bredeche
Pogobots are a new type of open-source/open-hardware robots specifically designed for swarm robotics research. Their cost-effective and modular design, complemented by vibration-ba…
Signaling and Social Learning in Swarms of Robots
Leo Cazenille, Maxime Toquebiau, Nicolas Lobato-Dauzier +5
This paper investigates the role of communication in improving coordination within robot swarms, focusing on a paradigm where learning and execution occur simultaneously in a decen…
