Distributed Autonomous Robotic Systems: 15th International Symposium

This book presents the state of the art in distributed autonomous systems composed of multiple robots, robotic modules, or robotic agents. It highlights the ability of swarms in nature to adapt to their environments and construct suitable habitats to their advantage. The 15th International Symposium on Distributed Autonomous Robotic Systems (DARS2021) was held online in June 2021 with the scope of creating a bridge between biologists and engineers interested in distributed intelligence of living things. The papers in the book provide an overview of current research themes in DARS, with important contributions.

This comprehensive book delves into the cutting-edge field of distributed autonomous systems (DAS) comprised of multiple robots, robotic modules, or robotic agents. Nature's swarms exhibit remarkable adaptability, not only adapting to their environments but also constructing suitable habitats to their advantage. Distributed autonomous robotic systems (DARS) possess a multitude of capabilities that surpass the individual abilities of their constituent parts. In the midst of the ongoing global pandemic, the 15th International Symposium on Distributed Autonomous Robotic Systems (DARS2021) took place virtually from June 1 to 4, 2021. The primary objective of DARS201 was to forge a bridge between biologists and engineers interested in the distributed intelligence of living organisms and establish a new academic field by integrating knowledge from both disciplines. The topics covered at DARS2021 included swarm intelligence, swarm robotics, multi-agent systems, modular robotics, decentralized control, distributed systems, and many more. The papers presented in this book offer a comprehensive overview of the current state-of-the-art in DARS. They showcase significant contributions to the field, highlighting emerging research themes and fostering continued interest in DARS. We believe that this book will serve as a valuable resource for researchers, scholars, and practitioners alike, contributing to the growth and development of this exciting field.
