Towards dependable swarms and a new discipline of swarm engineering (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This review paper sets out to explore the question of how future complex engineered systems based upon the swarm intelligence paradigm could be assured for dependability. The paper introduces the new concept of 'swarm engineering': a fusion of depend... Read More about Towards dependable swarms and a new discipline of swarm engineering.

Towards dependable swarms and new discipline of swarm engineering (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The original shorter paper was given as an invited talk at the SAB '04 workshop on Swarm Robotics. Selected papers were invited to be extended and following further full review were published in this volume in the highly-regarded 'state of the art re...

Direct Lyapunov design - A synthesis procedure for motor schema using a second-order Lyapunov stability theorem (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In this paper we propose a new procedure for construction of motor schema typically used in behaviour-based robotics. The procedure reverses the standard stability analysis approach by searching for a control function to fit a pre-defined Lyapunov f...
