Robots with internal models: A route to self-aware and hence safer robots (2014)
Book Chapter
Winfield, A. F. (2014). Robots with internal models: A route to self-aware and hence safer robots. In J. Pitt (Ed.), The Computer After Me: Awareness And Self-Awareness In Autonomic Systems (237-252). London: Imperial College Press

The aim of this chapter is to set out the case for building robots with internal models as a possible route toward achieving a level of functional self-awareness that would usefully extend the capabilities of autonomous robots. The chapter argues tha... Read More about Robots with internal models: A route to self-aware and hence safer robots.

A low-cost real-time tracking infrastructure for ground-based robot swarms (2014)
Book Chapter

Hamann, M. Montes de Oca, & M. Dorigo (Eds.), Swarm Intelligence, 9th International Conference, ANTS 2014 (278-279). Springer

A tracking infrastructure is a useful tool for swarm robotics research, and has many potential applications. Unfortunately, for many research laboratories, constructing one may be prohibitively expensive. In this paper we present a low-cost tracking...

Towards exogenous fault detection in swarm robotic systems (2014)
Book Chapter
Millard, A. G., Timmis, J., & Winfield, A. F. (2014). Towards exogenous fault detection in swarm robotic systems. In C. Melhuish, M. Witkowski, A. Natraj, & S. Cameron (Eds.), Towards Autonomous Robotic Systems (429-430). Springer Berlin Heidelberg

It has long been assumed that swarm systems are robust, in the sense that the failure of individual robots will have little detrimental effect on a swarm’s overall collective behaviour. However, Bjerknes and Winfield [1] have recently shown that this... Read More about Towards exogenous fault detection in swarm robotic systems.
