Self-organized Task Partitioning in a Swarm of Robots
Abstract. In this work, we propose a method for self-organized adaptive task partitioning in a swarm of robots. Task partitioning refers to the decomposition of a task into less co...

Modeling and Analysis of Beaconless and Beacon-Based Policies for a Swarm-Intelligent Inspection System
Abstract— We are developing a swarm-intelligent inspection system based on a swarm of autonomous, miniature robots, using only on-board, local sensors. To estimate intrinsic adva...

Cooperation in a Heterogeneous Robot Swarm through Spatially Targeted Communication
Abstract. We consider a heterogeneous swarm robotic system composed of wheeled and aerial robots called foot-bots and eye-bots, respectively. The foot-bots are able to physically c...
