Successful field tests with the SUTD-MIT SMART Swarm of Buoys
Our team achieved a series of very successful field tests at Bedok Reservoir! This work is funded by the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART), in collaboration with Prof. Dick K.P. Yue’s group at MIT (Dept. of Mechanical Engineering)

Springer Complexity Book “Design & Control of Swarm Dynamics” by R. Bouffanais has been published
After several months of hard work, I’m very pleased to announce the publication of my latest book titled “Design and Control of Swarm Dynamics” by Springer, as part of its Complexity Series. If you have an institutional access to Springerlink.com, you should normally have a free access to it. Alternatively, you can buy the e-print […]
Check out our fully decentralized swarm of robots performing a collective search and exploration!
[embedyt] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzbWV1sfZ-A[/embedyt] This video shows a fully decentralized swarm of robots (10 units) performing a collective search and exploration. The target objective to be found is the light source (lamp in the bottom left corner) and the swarm has to deal with a completely unknown environment (with multiple obstacles). All communications and computations are […]
