Abstract— There has been much research into the development of robotic controllers in educational, industrial and government research labs, but limited hardware budgets constrain...
—It is desirable that colony robots be autonomous and self-sufficient, which requires that they can perform their duties while maintaining enough energy to operate. In previous w...
