Gateway Event: Computation-free control: From swarms to modular robots

Date: 
Fri, 15/11/2019 - 14:45 to Sat, 16/11/2019 - 15:45

Dr. Roderich Gross

Abstract:

In this talk, we consider the problem of designing behavioral rules for groups of robots of extreme simplicity. First, we show how "computation-free" swarms of robots, with only 1 bit of sensory information, can accomplish tasks such as multi-agent rendezvous. Then, we study "computation-free" modular reconfigurable robots, that is, systems where the units to be controlled are physically coupled. We conclude by discussing current limitations of the approach and possible extensions.
