View source for Multirobotics Course Research Presentations



==Overview==

The idea for this portion of the course is for each person to conduct independent literature research in multi robot systems.  We'll use the following process:

* We will survey all members of the class to discover their backgrounds and interests.
* The instructor will assign individual students to teams.
* Teams will bid for topics, and topics will be assigned.
* Each team will give two presentations.

==Topics==

* Ant navigation
* Ant task assignment
* Honeybee communication
* Flocking, herding, swarming
* Predator / prey
* Collective sorting and clustering
* Collective construction
* Robot formation control
* Coordinated control for sensing
* Optimal task allocation 
* Task allocation and coordination in noisy environments
* High performance team path planning (RRTs)
* Self assembly in modular robotics
* Multirobot team learning
* Robot soccer
* Opponent modeling
* Behavior-based multi robot systems
* Planning-based multi robot systems
* Communication in multi robot systems
* Stigmergy
* Other topic that you suggest

==Where to Find Papers==

Here are lists of papers developed by other researchers that are a good source of material for your presentations:

* A list developed by Radhika Nagpal at Harvard: [[http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/~rad/courses/cs266/readinglist.html]]
* A list developed by Maja Mataric at USC: [[http://robotics.usc.edu/~maja/teaching/cs584.html]]
* A list developed by Dylan Shell at Texas A&M: [[http://robotics.cs.tamu.edu/dshell/cs689/]]
