Evolvable robot hardware (2015)
Book Chapter

While the theory and practice of evolutionary robotics is well established, most work to date has been concerned with evolving a robot’s control system – it’s software. This chapter is concerned instead with the more difficult problem of how to evolv... Read More about Evolvable robot hardware.

On the evolution of behaviors through embodied imitation (2015)
Journal Article

© 2015 Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Abstract This article describes research in which embodied imitation and behavioral adaptation are investigated in collective robotics. We model social learning in artificial agents with real robots. The... Read More about On the evolution of behaviors through embodied imitation.

Towards verifiably ethical robot behaviour (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Ensuring that autonomous systems work ethically is both complex and difficult. However, the idea of having an additional ‘governor’ that assesses options the system has, and prunes them to select the most ethical choices is well understood. Recent wo...

Editorial: Special issue on ground robots operating in dynamic, unstructured and large-scale outdoor environments (2015)
Journal Article

Real-world outdoor applications of ground robots have, to date, been limited primarily to remote inspection of suspected explosive devices and, with less success, to the broader domain of remote survey and inspection in hazardous environments. Such r... Read More about Editorial: Special issue on ground robots operating in dynamic, unstructured and large-scale outdoor environments.

An artificial immune system for self-healing in swarm robotic systems (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

© Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2015. Swarm robotics is concerned with the decentralised coordination of multiple robots having only limited communication and interaction abilities. Although fault tolerance and robustness to individua... Read More about An artificial immune system for self-healing in swarm robotic systems.
