Congratulations Dr. Hian Lee Kwa

Congratulations to Hian Lee Kwa, who successfully defended his Ph.D. thesis at the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) on 1 September 2022. His thesis, “The Exploration and Exploitation Dynamics of Target Tracking Swarms”, supervised by Roland Bouffanais, shows that a swarm of robots can find and track a target that moves faster than […]

Deciphering Social Contagions through Swarm Robotics

How does the spread of behavior affect consensus-based collective decision-making among animals, humans or swarming robots? In prior research, such propagation of behavior on social networks has been found to exhibit a transition from simple contagion—i.e, based on pairwise interactions—to a complex one—i.e., involving social influence and reinforcement. However, this rich phenomenology appears so far […]
