— We present a first attempt to accomplish a simple object manipulation task using the self-reconfigurable robotic system swarm-bot. The number of modular entities involved, th...
Software design is the hardest part of creating intelligent agents. Therefore agent architectures should be optimized as design tools. This paper presents an architectural synthes...
—Developmental robotics is also known as epigenetic robotics. We propose in this paper that there is one substantial difference between developmental robotics and epigenetic robo...
