We consider the task of assembling a large number of self controlled parts (or robots) into copies of a prescribed assembly (or formation). In particular, we introduce a way to sy...
We present a hierarchical planning system and its application to robotic manipulation. The novel features of the system are: 1) it finds high-quality kinematic solutions to task-l...
Abstract. This contribution studies speciation from the standpoint of evolutionary robotics (ER). A common approach to ER is to design a robot’s control system using neuro-evolut...
— This paper explores the space of active modular trusses, ranging from a passive truss with one independent active climbing module to fully self-reconfiguring dynamically contr...
