Bee-inspired foraging in an embodied swarm
We show the emergence of Swarm Intelligence in physical robots. We transfer an optimization algorithm which is based on beeforaging behavior to a robotic swarm. In simulation this...

Opinion Dynamics for Decentralized Decision-Making in a Robot Swarm
In this paper, we study how an opinion dynamics model can be the core of a collective decision-making mechanism for swarm robotics. Our main result is that when opinions represent ...
