The EU-MOP Concept: A Swarm Robotics Approach for Oil Spill Control
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper introduces an ongoing EU research project called EU-MOP, which involves the design and evaluation of an intelligent and efficient robot system to respond to oil spills. The EU-MOP project addresses both unit and system level (i.e. unit design and emergency response topics) so as to draft a complete proposal/solution regarding oil spillage. The paper defines the objectives of the project, presents the underlying concept and discusses some of its up-to-date results.

Robotic swarm concept for efficient oil spill confrontation.
This paper examines the behaviour of a distributed system/robotic swarm concept for the effective confrontation of oil spills. The system described consists of a number of identical robotic units of high-power autonomy that recover oil mechanically and are able to communicate with each other. A mathematical model that accounts for a multitude of oil weathering processes and for the concerted ac...

1. Introduction This paper presents the EU-MOP project (Elimination Units for Marine Oil Pollution) based on the design of an intelligent and autonomous robot system to respond to oil spills. The innovative factor of the EU-MOP project is focused on the functional autonomy and an information system for the tactical management and independent strategy during the operations scenario.
متن کاملApplications and design of cooperative multi-agent ARN-based systems
The Artificial Reaction Network (ARN) is an Artificial Chemistry inspired by Cell Signalling Networks (CSNs). Its purpose is to represent chemical circuitry and to explore the computational properties responsible for generating emergent high-level behaviour. In previous work, the ARN was applied to the simulation of the chemotaxis pathway of E. coli and to the control of quadrupedal robotic gai...
متن کاملArtificial Reaction Network Agents
The Artificial Reaction Network (ARN) is an Artificial Chemistry representation inspired by cell signaling networks. The ARN has previously been applied to the simulation of biological signaling pathways and to the control of limbed robots. In this paper we create multiple cell-like autonomous agents using ARN networks. It is shown that these agents can simulate some aspects of the behavior of ...
متن کاملCoordination Through Institutional Roles in Robot
In this paper, we demonstrate the benefit of role allocation in a collective of autonomous robots performing a simple transport task. We demonstrate that, under certain conditions, the performance of the collective can be improved when a subset of the robots assume institutional roles as traffic regulators. The concept of institutional roles is part of a highlevel approach to the control of mul...
