Approach
- Design Experiment
- Get Input/Confirmation from Marco
- Build Controller
- Do Experiment
- Publish
Long Term - Phd Theme
- Explore aspects of functional self assembly.
- Decision Process
- Is self-assembly necessary
- Structure
- What is appropriate size for connected groups
- What is appropriate shape for connected groups
- Behaviour
- What to do when connected (cooperative movement, transport, navigation, etc)?
- Timing
- When should swarm assemble?
- When should swarm disassemble?
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. (using adaptive swarm rotation to avoid parallel approach)
- Methods
- Reuse existing functional self assembly controller. (Published work)
- Group size selection mechanism to form two sbot swarm bots. (Completely new work)
- Use adaptive swarm rotation mechanis to avoid parallel approach problem. (Previous unpublished work)
Medium Term (~September 2006)
- Goal: Further experimentation to add body to Phd / publish.
