Power-Law Distribution of Long-Term Experimental Data in Swarm Robotics

چکیده
Bio-inspired aggregation is one of the most fundamental behaviours that has been studied in swarm robotic for more than two decades. Biology revealed that the environmental characteristics are very important factors in aggregation of social insects and other animals. In this paper, we study the effects of different environmental factors such as size and texture of aggregation cues using real robots. In addition, we propose a mathematical model to predict the behaviour of the aggregation during an experiment.

Long-term Planning of Optimal Placement of Distribution Transformers to Improve Reliability and Power Quality with the Approach of Reducing Costs and Losses
One of the most critical and complex issues in long-term planning of distribution networks is the optimal placement of distribution transformers. In this paper, the optimal placement of distribution transformers was investigated based on a complete and multi-objective function. In the proposed method, location, optimal capacity, and the service area are determined by minimizing costs (investmen...

In this paper we described the hardware architecture of an inexpensive, heterogeneous, mobile robot swarm, designed and developed at RISC lab, University of Bridgeport. Each UB robot swarm is equipped with sensors, actuators, control and communication units, power supply, and interconnection mechanism. This article also describes the essential features and design of a dynamic power distribution...
متن کاملAnalysis of long-term swarm performance based on short-term experiments
Swarm robotics is a branch of collective robotics systems that offers a set of remarkable advantages over other systems. The global behavior of swarm systems emerges from the local rules implemented at the individual level. Therefore, characterizing a global performance obtained at the swarm level is one of the main challenges, especially under complex dynamics such as spatial interferences. In...
