Scenario suggestions

Proposals on how to use the hand-bot

• move a long object
• banner
• object on a table
  1. 3 hand-bots shoot up from strategic locations surrounding the table
  2. hand-bots are moved together by foot-bots
  3. hand-bots grab each other or a ring
  4. hand-bots rise on their ropes, and can move freely in horizontal plane by pulling on respective ropes
• foot-bot elevator

IRIDIA collective proposal

Our proposal involves extending the scenario to allow for more sophisticated multiple hand-bot behavioural dynamics. We propose replacing the single book that had to be retrieved (and that was criticised by the referees) with multiple objects of varying attributes (material and size) spread across some shelves. The task would then become to first identify some appropriate subset of objects, retrieve them from the shelves, and then (possibly) to use them to build some form of structure.

In particular, we propose that the task involves multiple objects placed on a 

swarmanoid is required to retrieve objects of a particular type from shelves and use them to build structures.

We propose to extend the task and environment complexity matrices
