This paper proposes a strategy for the coordination of a swarm of robots in an unknown environment. The basic idea is to achieve the autonomous movement of the group from an initial region to a target region avoiding obstacles. We use a... more
Location Sharing Motivations within the Framework of Uses and Gratifications Approach: A Qualitative Study on Foursquare and Swarm Today, the average number of daily check-ins in Foursquare and Swarm exceeds 9 million, even though all... more
SUMMARYWe present a review of recent activities in swarm robotic research, and analyse existing literature in the field to determine how to get closer to a practical swarm robotic system for real world applications. We begin with a... more
The efficacy of sweep nets and a CDC white light-suction trap for the sampling of Culicoides species (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) were compared on a livestock farm in Northern Spain during the Summer of 2013. A total... more
This paper proposes a new obstacle and collision avoidance control laws for a three-dimensional swarm of boids. The swarm exhibit collective emergent behaviors whilst avoiding the obstacles in the workspace. While flocking, animals group... more
An agent-based Keynesian laboratory is built with a twofold purpose; to further investigate the ideas of Keynes and check them for internal consistency, and secondly to investigate the stability of a Keynesian world and explore the scope... more
Image edge detection mainly involves in identifying points in an image at which the image brightness changes sharply or more formally has discontinuities. The points at which image brightness changes sharply are typically organized into a... more
The efficacy of sweep nets and a CDC white light-suction trap for the sampling of Culicoides species (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) were compared on a livestock farm in Northern Spain during the Summer of 2013. A total of 6,082 specimens... more
The most common versions of particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithms are rotationally variant. It has also been pointed out that PSO algorithms can concentrate particles along paths parallel to the coordinate axes. In this paper, the... more
The term shared dataspace refers to the general class of programming languages in which the principal means of communication among the concurrent components of programs is a common, content-addressable data structure called a dataspace.... more
