		+
		+	# '''Presentation / Discussion'''
		+	#* The presentation is about the experiment I'm currently setting up on simulation. The experiment compares the chains with a new controller I call forcefield. I will shortly describe my new controller, and give a detailed description of the experimental setup and the results I expect. My goal for the discussion is mainly to get some feedback and criticism concerning the experiment.

		+	#* The presentation will describe my current work on the use of virtual pheromones for path selection. The predictions of a mathematical model will be compared with results from simulated experiments. I will show that the group of robots is able to display a collective choice in favour of the shortest path, and that it can possibly balance the exploitation of these paths.

		+	#* I will present my work in progress concerning :
		+	a)The Evolution of Self-Assembly: Artificial Evolution can be used as an automated process that can identify the conditions for achieving self-assembly in autonomous robots. In this work we follow an approach where the experimenter does not predefine all necessary conditions,including motion, gripping, seeding. On the contrary, we want the ANN to control all these events. Particular importance will be given to the emergence of role in the robots. "Who grips whom" in a homogeneous robot group?
		+	b)The Evolution of Communication in the case of collective categorization through different history or experience. This work is an extension of an idea I developed on trying to evolve communication in groups of robots with different sensory apparatus (morphologically heterogeneous agents).

Recently a DVD was made introducing the project, its goals and some of its results and this DVD will be projected so that people in IRIDIA know more details about ECAgents.

	+
	+	# '''Presentation / Discussion'''
	+	#* I am going to present an extension of my chaining controller. In the original version robots just form chains from the nest. In the new controller I introduce a very simple "prey enhancement" mechanism where the robots activate their LEDs when they perceive the nest, and in this way enhance the area in which the prey can be perceived. I present the results from an experiment I conducted in simulation.

	+	'''''Agenda'''''
	+
	+	# '''Presentation / Discussion'''
	+	#* I'm going to rehearse two presentations that have to be prepared for the 2006 IEEE Int. Conf. on Robotics & Automation (ICRA), which is held in two weeks in Florida. Each presentation should last 13 minutes + discussion.
	+	#* Abstract: This paper addresses the cooperative transport of a heavy object by a group of mobile robots. We present a system in which group members lacking knowledge about the position of the transport target exploit physical interactions with other members of the group that have such knowledge. This is the first such system to achieve a performance superior to that of a passive caster. The system is fully decentralized and the information flow between the robots is limited to physical interactions. The robots have no knowledge about their relative positions. A comprehensive experimental study with up to six physical robots confirms the effectiveness, reliability, and robustness of the system. Finally, the system is examined in rough terrain conditions.
	+	#* Abstract: 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, their global shape or size and their internal structure are not pre-determined, but result from a self-organized process in which the modules autonomously grasp each other and/or an object. The modules are autonomous in perception, control, action, and power. We present quantitative results, obtained with six physical modules, that confirm the utility of self-assembling robots in a concrete task.

	+	==Wednesday 26th April 2006 - Christos ==
	+	I will talk about current work on the evolution of communication for heterogeneous robots, trying to link it with older work and also with what I have in mind as future goal, but also on a new self-assembly method we are working on with Anders, where the NN takes care of everything, without use of camera. I will also elaborate on the doors the latter effort might open once successful.

	+	* I will introduce a new experiment that involves a group of robots trying to estimate collectively

	+	* After a quick description of the experiment I'll introduce a set of simple behavioural rules devised to produce the desired collective behaviour.

	+	of the nest, and how it behaves in varying conditions (noise of the system, number of robots, duration of the experiment...).
	+	* Lastly I will discuss some tradeoff problems : robots estimate better the direction
	+	of the nest if they are numerous, but on the other hand they have difficulties to synchronize for achieving a collective prey retrieval.
	+	* And I will discuss some scalability and bifurcation features of the system
	+

		+	#* I am going to talk on my work on the Evolution of Communication in cases where there is no fitness reward for signalling-reaction to the signal. What conditions seem to favour the evolution of communication?
		+	#* An idea for extention, an intro for my next talk, maybe?
		+	# '''Robotics Group Admin'''
		+	#* Arena camera
