Energy Consumption of Group Search on a Line
2019
International Colloquium on Automata, Languages and Programming
When the robots have bounded memory and can use only a constant number of fixed speeds, we generalize an algorithm described in [3, 15] to obtain a family of algorithms parametrized by pairs of b, c values ...
We investigate energy-time trade-offs in group search by two robots, where the energy loss experienced by a robot traveling a distance x at constant speed s is given by s 2 x, as motivated by energy consumption ...
An interested reader may consult [4] , where optimal group search algorithms for a pair of distinct maximal speed robots were proposed for both communication scenarios (F2F and wireless) and for any pair ...

Gaining environments through shape change
[article]
2020
arXiv
pre-print
Recent technological advances, ranging from stretchable circuits to highly deformable soft robots, have begun to make shape changing robots a possibility. ...
To begin addressing these questions, here we simulate, design, and build a soft robot that utilizes shape change to achieve locomotion over both a flat and inclined surface. ...
As the robot slid over a surface, it would typically exhibit an initial linear regime corresponding to pre-slip deformation of the feet, followed by slip and a second linear kinetic friction regime (Fig ...

The role of environmental and controller complexity in the distributed optimization of multi-robot obstacle avoidance
2014
2014 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA)
The ability to move in complex environments is a fundamental requirement for robots to be a part of our daily lives. ...
However, these two aspects may pose a considerable challenge on the optimization of robotic controllers. ...
For this purpose, we employed a multi-robot obstacle avoidance case study in which the complexity of controllers was varied by changing the number of sensors used as input, adding non-linear functions, ...
