Engineering behavioral controls and networked intelligence in evolvable swarm robots
We will study ways for individual low-functionality robots to autonomously form groups without having recording environmental information and individual behavior, and without controlling the position of individuals. Swarm sizes and behaviors that are appropriate for the spaces and tasks involved will be autonomously determined, improving spatial exploration abilities for unknown environments, and enhancing the ability to pass through confined spaces with changes in behavior patterns and jumping movement.
We will study guidance systems and ways to guide inter-swarm cooperative behavior for individual robots, single swarms and multiple swarms, by moving real markers that physically exist, as well as virtual markers created as an aggregate of multiple real markers.
