We consider the problem of distributed exploration or coverage of an unknown environment by a swarm of mobile minirobots that have limited memory, computation and communication ca...
In dangerous and uncertain environments initial plans must be revised. Communication failures hamper this replanning. We introduce fractured subteams as a novel formalism for mode...
We are exploring the use of auction mechanisms to assign roles within a team of agents operating in a dynamic environment. Depending on the degree of collaboration between the agen...
—Creation of cooperative robot teams for complex tasks requires not only agents that can function well individually but also agents that can coordinate their actions. This paper ...
How should a robot represent and reason about spatial information when it needs to collaborate effectively with a human? The form of spatial representation that is useful for robo...
