#DARS16 live coverage and video trailer: From robot swarms to origami modules
November 7, 2016
The 13th International Symposium on Distributed Autonomous Robotic Systems (DARS) in London this week brings together the very best working in multi-robot systems. The general chair this year is Roderich Gross from Sheffield Robotics.
The three-day conference will include 51 presentations from 17 countries, including 4 keynotes by:
- Nikolaus Correll (University of Colorado Boulder): Material-integrated intelligence for robot autonomy
- Vijay Kumar (University of Pennsylvania): Coordination, cooperation, and collaboration in multi-robot systems
- James AR Marshall (University of Sheffield): Go to the bee and be wise: Swarm engineering inspired by house-hunting honeybees
- Katia Sycara (Carnegie Mellon University): Robust human control of multi-robot swarms
You can find the full program here.
Papers cover a range of topics including flying and underwater bots, swarms, and origami modules that self-assemble. Check the video trailer for an overview of some of the research presented.
Papers featured in the video trailer include:
- Robust Coordinated Aerial Deployments for Theatrical Applications Given Online User Interaction via Behavior Composition
Ellen Cappo, Arjav Desai, Nathan Michael - Programmable Self-Disassembly for Shape Formation in Large-Scale Robot Collectives
Melvin Gauci, Radhika Nagpal, Michael Rubenstein - Geometrical study of a quasi-spherical module for building programmable matter
