New YRL Conference Papers

James Stovold, Simon O’Keefe and Jon Timmis have had their paper, “Firefly synchronisation allows swarms to form and preserve identity over time” accepted to the 14th International Conference on Artificial Life.  This paper proposes a novel mechanism for swarm identification and preservation of that identify over time with interacting swarms.

 

Becky Naylor, Mark Read, Jon Timmis and Andy Tyrrell have had their paper, "The Relay Chain: A Scalable Dynamic Communication link between an Exploratory Underwater Shoal and a Surface Vehicle” accepted to the 14th International Conference on Artificial Life.  This paper, based on work undertaken as part of the CoCoRo project, details an approach to the formation and maintenance of underwater swarm robots to preserve a relay chain that can reliably relay data from the bottom of a water area to the surface. 

 

Alan Millard, James Hilder and Jon Timmis have had their paper, “A Low-cost Real-time Tracking Infrastructure for Ground-based Robot Swarms” accepted to the 9th International Conference on Swarm Intelligence 2014. This paper outlines the tracking infrastructure developed at YRL to support work in swarm robotic experimentation.

 

Alan Millard, Alan Winfield and Jon Timmis have had their paper, "Run-time Detection of Faults in Autonomous Mobile Robots Based on the Comparison of Simulated and Real Robot Behaviour” accepted to IEEE/RSJ International Conference in Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS). This paper details the embodied simulation of robotic systems with a view to identifying anomalous, or faulty, behaviour over time.
