Auto-HSI: Personalized human control of a robot swarm on demand by using LLMs for online automatic code generation

Alessandro Nazzari, Nathan Cerisara, Dorian Tonnis +5

This paper presents Auto-HSI, a method for generating personalized human-swarm interaction (HSI) interfaces on demand. The objective is to enable untrained operators to use natural…

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…

Proactive-reactive detection and mitigation of intermittent faults in robot swarms

Sinan Oğuz, 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…

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…

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…

Self-organizing Nervous Systems for Robot Swarms

W. Zhu, S. Oguz, M. K. Heinrich +5

The system architecture controlling a group of robots is generally set before deployment and can be either centralized or decentralized. This dichotomy is highly constraining, beca…

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…

Flora robotica -- An Architectural System Combining Living Natural Plants and Distributed Robots

Heiko Hamann, Mohammad Divband Soorati, Mary Katherine Heinrich +13

Key to our project flora robotica is the idea of creating a bio-hybrid system of tightly coupled natural plants and distributed robots to grow architectural artifacts and spaces. O…
