A playground of robotics concepts in the fields of - self-organizing systems, collective robotics, evolutionary robotics, and more. Everything here runs in simulation, so feel free to clone it, poke around, and play with it yourself.
To give you an idea what this project collection is about - Here we have a simulation with focus on Anti-Agent behaviour simple. Agents with no communication, only local sensing, self-organizing into clusters (and a small fraction of agents working against clustering can, counterintuitively, help form even larger ones):
| No anti-agents | 10% anti-agents |
|---|---|
 |
 |
| objects settle into many small, separate clusters | a small fraction of agents working "against" clustering locally ends up helping consolidate the objects into fewer, larger clusters |
Have a look at the Project: wood-chip clustering.
- Collective Robotics
- Firefly Synchronization - spontaneous sync from purely local coupling
- Locust Alignment - swarm direction consensus, plus an empirical transition-probability model
- Wood Chip Clustering - ant-aggregation clustering, and how "anti-agents" can improve it
