Scalable Co-optimization of Collective Robotic Mobility and the Artificial Environment
The behavior of intelligent systems, both living and artificial, is influenced through the structure of their surrounding environment. In nature, environmental constraints dictate the creation, unfolding, and interaction of living beings. Living systems are prototypes for collective robot behaviors - yet, despite the obvious influence of spatial constraints on interactions, the optimization of mobile robots and their immediate environment has been disjoint. Little thought has been given to what would make an artificial environment conducive to effective and efficient collective robotic mobility. The premise of this project is that the environment is as much a variable as the robot itself. I…
