Grounding motivation in energy autonomy: A study of artificial metabolism constrained robot dynamics (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

We present an evolutionary robotics investigation into the metabolism constrained homeostatic dynamics of a simulated robot. Unlike existing research that has focused on either energy or motivation autonomy the robot described here is considered in t...

Autonomous morphogenesis in self-assembling robots using IR-based sensing and local communications (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper presents a simple decentralised morphology control mechanism for a swarm of self-assembling robots. Each robot in the system is fully autonomous and controlled using a behaviour-based approach with only infrared-based local sensing and com...

High speed, multi-scale tracing of curvilinear features with automated scale selection and enhanced orientation computation (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

We propose a new high speed line tracing algorithm based on a well known differential geometric line extraction algorithm. The previously separate steps of line detection and line tracing are performed simultaneously. This allows the exclusion of non...
