History Vito Trianni

History (past work)

My research concerns the artificial evolution of self-organising behaviours for a 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.

Additionally, I studied the evolution of time-dependent decision-making behaviours, in cooperation with Elio Tuci and Christos Ampatzis.
