Approach

  1. Design Experiment
  2. Get Input/Confirmation from Marco
  3. Build Controller
  4. Do Experiment
  5. Publish


Short Term (~End March 2006)

Goal: expand functional self-assembly experiment and publish new and old work together in a journal.

Experiment

Environment: Same as previous functional self assembly experiment.

Goal
  • Large group of robots must navigate over hill towards target.
  • If they encounter hill, they aggregate into several two sbot swarmbots (using group size selection mechanism)
  • The two-sbot swarmbots separately navigate the hill into the target zone.
  • They use adaptive swarm rotation (previous work) to avoid parallel approach topple problem.


Medium Term (~September 2006)

Goal: Further experimentation to add body to Phd / publish.
