Formal Verification of Probabilistic Swarm Behaviours
Robot swarms provide a way for a number of simple robots to work together to carry out a task. While swarms have been found to be adaptable, fault-tolerant and widely applicable, d...

Coordinating Heterogeneous Swarms through Minimal Communication among Homogeneous Sub-swarms
robotics, the agents are often assumed to be identical. In this abstract, we argue that the cooperation between swarms of different kinds of robots can enhance the capabilities of ...
