Ants provide an attractive metaphor for robots that "cooperate" in performing complex tasks. What, however, are the algorithmic consequences of following this metaphor? ...
— In this paper, navigation and control of autonomous mobile unicycle robots in a complex and partially known obstacleridden environment is considered. The unicycle dynamic model...
— We describe a system that provides a low-cost, portable control station for experimentation in mobile robotic telesurgery. The software and hardware implementation of our syste...

— We propose to classify the behaviors of a mobile robot thanks to topological methods as an alternative to metric ones. To do so, we adapt an analysis scheme from Physics of non...
— This paper describes the design, fabrication, and experimental results of a programmable matter system capable of 2D shape formation through subtraction. The system is composed...
