Serpentine robots are slender, multi-segmented vehicles designed to provide greater mobility than conventional mobile robots. Serpentine robots are ideally suited for urban search...
— A hormone-inspired task scheduling method is described which assigns tasks to a group of robots, taking into account the robots’ performances. This method draws on previous w...
Polymorphic, or shape-shifting, robots can normally tackle more types of tasks than non-polymorphic robots due to their flexible morphology. Their versatility adds to the challeng...
