The distributed co-evolution of an embodied simulator and controller for swarm robot behaviours (2011)
Presentation / Conference
O'Dowd, P., Winfield, A. F., & Studley, M. (2011, September). The distributed co-evolution of an embodied simulator and controller for swarm robot behaviours. Paper presented at IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS 2011), San Francisco, USA

Embodied fitness assessment of robotic controllers is slow but grounded, while assessment in a simulated environment is fast but can run foul of the ‘reality gap’. We present a distributed co-evolutionary method to adapt the environmental model of an...

Gathering and presenting social feedback to change domestic electricity consumption (2011)
Presentation / Conference
Studley, M., Chambers, S., Rettie, R., & Burchell, K. (2011, May). Gathering and presenting social feedback to change domestic electricity consumption. Paper presented at SIGCHI 2011, Vancouver, Canada

This paper describes the CHARM Energy Study in which mobile technology is used to study the impact of social group feedback on household energy consumption. We describe the background and rationale behind the study, the technology which supports th... Read More about Gathering and presenting social feedback to change domestic electricity consumption.
