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...

Aggregation-mediated collective perception and action in a group of miniature robots
We introduce a novel case study in which a group of miniaturized robots screen an environment for undesirable agents, and destroy them. Because miniaturized robots are usually end...

An Overview of Physicomimetics
This paper provides an overview of our framework, called physicomimetics, for the distributed control of swarms of robots. We focus on robotic behaviors that are similar to those s...
