Asynchronous Deterministic Rendezvous in Bounded Terrains
Abstract. Two mobile agents (robots) have to meet in an a priori unknown bounded terrain modeled as a polygon, possibly with polygonal obstacles. Robots are modeled as points, and ...

Sequential Incremental-Value Auctions
We study the distributed allocation of tasks to cooperating robots in real time, where each task has to be assigned to exactly one robot so that the sum of the latencies of all ta...

The hesitation of a robot: a delay in its motion increases learning efficiency and impresses humans as teachable
If robots learn new actions through human-robot interaction, it is important that the robots can utilize rewards as well as instructions to reduce humans' efforts. Additionall...

A coordination mechanism for swarm navigation: experiments and analysis
We present an algorithm that allows swarms of robots to navigate in environments containing unknown obstacles, moving towards and spreading along 2D shapes given by implicit funct...
