CHILDHOOD COOPERATION. "We have recently implemented this type of shared planning in robotic systems which can observe actions, attribute roles, and then use the resulting shared plan to perform the cooperative task, taking the role of either one of the two participants." http://www.eva.mpg.de/documents/IEEE/Lall%C3%A9e_Towards_IEEETrans_2012_1569280.pdf View in LinkedIn

EARLY EVOLUTION. "Biomorphic research is in its infancy. It is equivalent to early primitive life on this planet." http://vadakkepat.com/web/content/view/70/152/ View in LinkedIn

AUTONOMOUS ENTITIES. "Biomorphs are artificial, autonomous mechanical devices built from a minimalist and biological approach. These 'creatures' thrive on 'chaotic reaction' and can survive in highly dynamic environments, virtually needing no human intervention." http://vadakkepat.com/web/content/view/70/152/ View in LinkedIn

BIOMORPHS "also exhibit adaptive, emergent behaviour and competent strategies normally impossible to replicate using conventional digital methods. Not the least to say that these biomorphs work without microprocessors, i.e., no human instructions whatsoever." http://vadakkepat.com/web/content/view/70/152/ View in LinkedIn

ADAPTIVE AND EMERGENT. "The distinguishing feature of biomorphs is the use of simple non-linear elements stringed together to realise a control system that is highly adaptive and robust. They also exhibit adaptive, emergent behaviour and competent strategies normally impossible to replicate using conventional digital methods." http://vadakkepat.com/web/content/view/70/152/ View in LinkedIn

COOPERATIVE INSECTS. "In a world full of things that are much, much bigger than they are, insects manage to do pretty well with getting around. Some of the most successful insects are the social and cooperative ones, like ants, which can do incredible things such as using their bodies to create structures to get themselves across rivers." http://spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/robotics/robotics-hardware/robot-roaches-with-tiny-magnetic-winch-cooperate-to-scale-steps View in LinkedIn

COOPERATIVE ROBOTS. "I think there is some more interesting work in exploring how far two-robot cooperation can go." http://spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/robotics/robotics-hardware/robot-roaches-with-tiny-magnetic-winch-cooperate-to-scale-steps View in LinkedIn

SCALING. "Planning under uncertainty faces a scalability problem when considering multi-robot teams, as the information space scales exponentially with the number of robots." https://lnkd.in/djgRXCW View in LinkedIn

MODULAR ADVANTAGES. "The cooperating robots benefit from distributed actuation of modular robots to climb steps, while being able to break the modular robot up when it is too cumbersome to drag the connected robots up the step." http://spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/robotics/robotics-hardware/robot-roaches-with-tiny-magnetic-winch-cooperate-to-scale-steps View in LinkedIn

"THE TETHER-ASSISTED climbing mode fills in the last piece of the step climbing strategy— instead of just sending one member of the team up the step after climbing while connected, the winch can be used to pull the other team member up the step as well." http://spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/robotics/robotics-hardware/robot-roaches-with-tiny-magnetic-winch-cooperate-to-scale-steps View in LinkedIn
