We present distributed morphogenesis control strategies in a swarm of robots able to autonomously assemble into 3D symbiotic organisms to perform specific tasks. Each robot in such a system can work autonomously, while teams of robots can self-assemb... Read More about Distributed autonomous morphogenesis in a self-assembling robotic system.

Three-dimensional crossing-shock-wave and turbulent boundary-layer interactions can generate intense wall heat flux rates, high pressure levels, and large-scale flow separations on high-speed vehicle surfaces. To reproduce such complex flow physics,... Read More about Flow topology of symmetric crossing shock wave boundary layer interactions.

We describe a new class of decentralised control algorithms that link local wireless connectivity to low-level robot motion control in order to maintain both swarm aggregation and connectivity, which we term “coherence”, in unbounded space. We invest... Read More about Emergent swarm morphology control of wireless networked mobile robots.
