  abstract     = {{In recent years, subthreshold operation has become a research focus for digital systems with limited energy budget (e.g. mobile, battery-powered devices, radio frequency identification (RFID), wireless sensor networks, or biomedical applications). Subthreshold operation allows for such low power consumption by reducing the supply voltage of the circuit below the threshold voltage of the transistors. As dynamic power depends quadratically on supply voltage, and static power depends exponentially on supply voltage, considerable power savings are achieved. At the same time propagation delays increase due to reduced transistor currents. Effectively, energy consumption per cycle can typically be reduced by a factor of 10 using subthreshold operation.}},

The strategies are based on the frontier cell for mapping the environment and navigating in it. Additionally, two coordination strategies are used to solve possible conflicts among robots. Key criteria investigated are the efficiency and effectiveness represented by the completion time, traveled distance, the total steps, and the task distribution. The developed algorithms are tested in simulations as well as in experiments with Khepera III mini robots running on the Teleworkbench. To evaluate the robustness of the developed algorithms, tests are performed under different environmental configurations and varying numbers of robots. The results show the advantages of both proposed strategies in different situations such as environment types and starting positions.}},

However, experiments with real robots are considerably tedious as experimenting is repetitive and consists of several steps: setup, execution, data logging, monitoring, and analysis. Moreover, experiments also require many resources especially in the case when involving many robots. This paper describes the role of the Teleworkbench as a platform for conducting experiments involving mini robots. The Teleworkbench offers functionality that can help users in validating their robot software from simulation to prototyping using mini robots. A traffic management system is used as a scenario for demonstrating the support of the Teleworkbench for validating multi-robot systems.}},

  abstract     = {{This paper presents a hierarchical hyprid planning approach developed for realizing self-optimizing mechatronic systems. The hybrid planning approach is based on a discrete plan and a forecast of continuous system behavior generated by simulation during runtime. This does not only allow an online adaptation of a previously generated plan with regard to the actual system state as well as the current environmental conditions, even the planning objectives may be adapted to newly arising needs during system operation. The planner exploits the hierarchy already present in the system model by considering hierarchical parameterizations of the system as a discrete dimension of choice. The parameterizations are proposed by a novel hierarchical multiobjective optimization, which calculates Pareto points in a bottom up fashion, taking into account the constraints imposed by lower levels of the system hierarchy on the higher ones. Evaluations of the hierarchical hybrid planner in the context of an innovative railbound transport system show that it outperforms its non-hierarchical predecessor.
