*Communication for synchronization in a group of robots
My research concerns the artificial evolution of self-organising behaviours for a [http://www.swarm-bots.org ''swarm-bot'']. In this context, I studied collective behaviours such as scalable aggregation, coordinated motion, hole avoidance and functional self-assembling. Some of these behaviours have been successfully tested with the real swarm-bots as well.

Plan (future work)

  • Communication for synchronization in a group of robots
  • Functional self-assembling
  • Time-dependent decision making mechanisms for prey retrieval

Goals

  • Study the emergence of non-trivial communication paradigms for synchronised activities in a group of robots
  • Evolving integrated networks with time-varying features

Things to do

Write the Ph.D. Thesis. Here is a rough workplan:

  • by the end of the year - Part I completed (introduction,literature,motivations)
  • by the end of January 2006 - Part II completed (experiments on coordinated motion and hole avoidance)
  • by the end of February 2006 - Part III completed (novel directions: functional self-assembling, integration over time)

Papers to write

Possibly a paper in cooperation with Mondada-Bonani on the electro-mechanical features of the traction sensor
