text: "The semi-automatic or automatic synthesis of robot controller software is\r\nboth
desirable and challenging. Synthesis of rather simple behaviors such as\r\ncollision
avoidance by applying artificial evolution has been shown multiple\r\ntimes. However,
the difficulty of this synthesis increases heavily with\r\nincreasing complexity
of the task that should be performed by the robot. We try\r\nto tackle this problem
of complexity with Artificial Homeostatic Hormone\r\nSystems (AHHS), which provide
both intrinsic, homeostatic processes and\r\n(transient) intrinsic, variant behavior.
By using AHHS the need for pre-defined\r\ncontroller topologies or information
about the field of application is\r\nminimized. We investigate how the principle
design of the controller and the\r\nhormone network size affects the overall performance
of the artificial\r\nevolution (i.e., evolvability). This is done by comparing
two variants of AHHS\r\nthat show different effects when mutated. We evolve a
controller for a robot\r\nbuilt from five autonomous, cooperating modules. The
desired behavior is a form\r\nof gait resulting in fast locomotion by using the
modules' main hinges."

text: Self-organization in natural systems demonstrates very reliable and scalable
collective behavior without using any central elements. When providing collective
robotic systems with self-organizing principles, we are facing new problems of
making self-organization purposeful, self-adapting to changing environments and
faster, in order to meet requirements from a technical perspective. This paper
describes on-going work of creating such an artificial self-organization within
artificial robot organisms, performed in the framework of several European projects.

text: One of the prominent challenges in mobile robotics is to develop control methodologies
that allow the adaptation to dynamic and unforeseen environments. The classic
approach of hand-coded controllers is very efficient for well-defined tasks and
specific environments but poor in adapting to changing environmental conditions.
One alternative approach is the application of evolutionary algorithms which need,
in turn, easily evolvable representations of controllers. In this paper, we investigate
one promising approach of an artificial hormone system as a control paradigm which
is believed to be easily optimized by evolutionary processes. In a first step
of this research, we focus on the simple task of collision avoidance. We present
a brief mathematical analysis of this controller approach and an implementation
of the controller on a mobile robot to check the feasibility in principle of our
approach. The task is successfully accomplished and we conclude with a discussion
of the hormone dynamics in the robot.

text: 'By compiling macroscopic models we analyze the adaptive behavior in a swarm
of autonomous robots generated by a bio-inspired, distributed control algorithm.
We developed two macroscopic models by taking two different perspectives: A Stock
& Flow model, which is simple to implement and fast to simulate, and a spatially
resolved model based on diffusion processes. These two models were compared concerning
their prediction quality and their analytical power: One model allowed easy identification
of the major feedback loops governing the swarm behavior. The other model allowed
analysis of the expected shapes and positions of observable robot clusters. We
found a high correlation in the challenges posed by both modeling techniques and
we highlighted the inherent problems of inferring emergent macroscopic rules from
a microscopic description of swarm behavior.'

text: 'We present a comparative study of two spatially resolved macroscopic models
of an autonomous robotic swarm. In previous experiments, the collective behavior
of 15 autonomous swarm robots, driven by a simple bio-inspired control algorithm,
was investigated: in two different environmental conditions, the ability of the
robots to aggregate below a light source was tested. Distinct approaches to predict
the dynamics of the spatial distribution were made by two different modeling approaches:
one model was constructed in a compartmental manner (ODEs). In parallel, a space-continuous
model (PDEs) was constructed. Both models show a high degree of similarity concerning
the modeling of concrete environmental factors (light), but due to their different
basic approaches, show also significant differences in their implementation. However,
the predictions of both models compare well to the observed behavior of the robotic
swarm, thus both models can be used to develop further extensions of the algorithm
as well as different experimental setups without the need to run extensive real
robotic preliminary experiments.'

text: Designing and analyzing self-organizing systems such as robotic swarms is
a challenging task even though we have complete knowledge about the robot’s interior.
It is difficult to determine the individual robot’s behavior based on the swarm
behavior and vice versa due to the high number of agent–agent interactions. A
step towards a solution of this problem is the development of appropriate models
which accurately predict the swarm behavior based on a specified control algorithm.
Such models would reduce the necessary number of time-consuming simulations and
experiments during the design process of an algorithm. In this paper we propose
a model with focus on an explicit representation of space because the effectiveness
of many swarm robotic scenarios depends on spatial inhomogeneity. We use methods
of statistical physics to address spatiality. Starting from a description of a
single robot we derive an abstract model of swarm motion. The model is then extended
to a generic model framework of communicating robots. In two examples we validate
models against simulation results. Our experience shows that qualitative correctness
is easily achieved, while quantitative correctness is disproportionately more
difficult but still possible.

text: Designing and implementing artificial self-organizing systems is a challenging
task since they typically behave non- intuitive and only little theoretical foundations
exist. Predicting a system of many components with a huge amount of interactions
is beyond human skills. The currently common use of simulations for design support
is not satisfying, as it is time-consuming and the results are most likely sub-
optimal. In this work, we present the derivation of an analytical, time-, and
space-continuous model for a swarm of autonomous robots based on the Fokker-Planck
equation. While the motion model is in most parts physically motivated, the communication
model is based on a heuristic approach. A showcase application to a recently proposed
scenario of collective perception in a huge swarm of robots with very limited
abilities is given and the simulation results are compared to the model. Despite
the high level of abstraction, the prediction discrepancies are small and the
parameters can be mapped one-to-one from the model to the control algorithm. Finally,
we give an outlook on the capabilities of the proposed model, discuss its limitations,
and suggest an improvement that could reduce the number of empirically determined
parameters.

text: 'Current research in Micro, Nano and Swarm Robots as results of the European
projects Miniman, MiCRoN and I-SWARM will be presented. First, the design and
the control of 5 to 10cm3 sized mobile micro robots with five degrees of freedom
will be shown. They can handle miniaturized parts as for example an optical component
or a biological cell with a size in the micrometre-area with an accuracy of 100nm
under a microscope or a raster-electron microscope. Second, the design and the
control of a 1cm3-sized mobile untethered micro robot will be demonstrated. Here,
the robot consists of five parts: the Piezzo locomotion module, the micro control
unit, the communication unit, the navigation system and the micro gripper. The
mobile robot can be guided and positioned in an arena with an accuracy of 5 micrometre
and can be programmed and controlled over the wireless communication unit. Third,
the design and the control of 3 × 3 × 3 mm3 sized micro-/nanorobots with 2 degrees
of freedom will be presented. The transmission of energy and the communication
between the robots is realized via infrared. The robot controller is fully integrated
and has limited functionalities. Via basic sensors communication functions and
elementary rules and behaviours the micro robot can act in a swarm consisting
of hundreds and thousands of robots. Future applications could be monitoring-,
inspection-, exploring-tasks etc. of big areas or objects.'
