Our #MNS paper:

“Multi-robot Coverage using Self-organized Networks for Central Coordination”

just got accepted at ANTS Conference

with Aryo Jamshidpey, Weixu Zhu, Michael Allwright, MK Heinrich, and Marco Dorigo

IRIDIA, ULB

Just submitted!

'Centralization vs. decentralization in multi-robot coverage: Ground robots under UAV supervision'

at #swarmintelligence

with A. Jamshidpey, MK Heinrich, Michael Allwright, W. Zhu, and Marco Dorigo IRIDIA, ULB

After about 20 years of research in #swarm #robotics , it’s time to take stock of the progress made and the future challenges.
Here’s what you’ll find, in extreme synthesis, in our latest paper w/ Marco Dorigo and Guy Theraulaz (Open Access).

I am pleased to announce the School on Collective Animal Behaviour in Havana, Cuba (March 16-27, 2020) with many friends Iain Couzin Marco Dorigo David Sumpter Apply here: indico.ictp.it/event/9029/

Our review paper on Swarm Robotics with Marco Dorigo
and Vito Trianni is out: ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/94605…

Please check our paper “Construction Task Allocation through the Collective Perception of a Dynamic Environment” Marco Dorigo Michael Allwright, accepted for publication ANTS Conference.
An abstract model uses the collective perception of dynamic tile density to allocate robots.

🥳Celebrating milestone of my first article w/ 100 citations. Glad the community valued my PhD work that shows how to designing collective decision making in swarms of simple individuals. doi.org/10.1371/journa… Published in PLOS ONE w/ Vito Trianni Gabriele Valentini Marco Dorigo

Congratulations to Raina Zakir on obtaining the F.R.S.-FNRS FRIA Scholarship to study ' #RobotSwarm #resiliency against malicious attacks in #collectiveDecisionMaking ' at IRIDIA, ULB under t supervision of Giovanni Reina & Marco Dorigo Looking fwd to making our swarms more resilient!🤖

Hybrid centralized/decentralized swarms with Marco Trabattoni, Gabriele Valentini and Marco Dorigo now at #ANTS2018 ANTS Conference

Finally, for the last long talk of #ANTS2018 , Marco Trabattoni talks about hybrid control in robot swarms for resource selection, in a work with Marco Dorigo and Gabriele Valentini

Now online! 📰

New IEEE T-Cybernetics paper on self-organizing and reconfigurable frameworks for #formation #control of #robot #swarms .

Co-organiser Marco Dorigo is now talking about implementing our stigmergic construction algorithms in real swarm of robots

I’m very happy to share our new perspective paper about transferring social cognition skills from humans to robots, co-written with MK Heinrich and with Axel Cleeremans and Marco Dorigo.

And the closing of the #swarmroboticsWS by Marco Dorigo, organized by himself, Vito Trianni and Guy Theraulaz. What an amazing event! So.... What about next year??? 😁😁😁

Congrats to Marco Trabattoni for the first paper accepted of his PhD! The paper 'Hybrid Control of Swarms for Resource Selection' was accepted as full paper ANTS Conference and proposes to leverage self-org. to create centralized-like control structures w/ Marco Dorigo #swarm #robots

New energy in IRIDIA, ULB!

Raina Zakir (@rainazak) recently joined the research team of Marco Dorigo & Giovanni Reina to investigate #RobotSwarm #resiliency against malicious attacks in #collectiveDecisionMaking , part of Trusted AI Labs ARIAC project.

Let's keep swarms safe!🛡️🤖🤖

Ant colonies are like liquid brains, collectively solving problems in a distributed way. Can we get inspiration from them to solve our problems? Ant Colony Optimisation is the answer. See the paper courses.cs.ut.ee/all/MTAT.03.23… Marco Dorigo

programming a #robot #swarm as easy as baking a cake?
why not?! :)

our paper Gabriele Valentini Marco Dorigo

/Global-to-Local Design for Self-Organized Task Allocation in Swarms/

will soon appear in Intelligent Computing

key idea: swarm compositions via regression + lasso
