Lieveloo, Jeroen (author)Automation in the form of swarm robots is an increasingly feasible opportunity for solving complex physical problems. However, how such a swarm is to be instructed and controlled is one of the many topics that requires further research. For this, we can look to nature for inspiration, as there are many nest building swarms. Perhaps the most...master thesis 2023

van der Horst, Casper (author)For my Master’s thesis, I developed and trained an audio-based localization system for indoor localization called AudioLocNet. AudioLocNet is based on convolutional neural networks and maps recordings from a small(10cm diameter) microphone array to a grid of locations around said array. AudioLocNet was made to be used by swarms of small robots...master thesis 2022

Deaconu, Sebastian (author)This paper analyzes how flocking behavior in fish can be used to develop target protection algorithms. This starts from the hypothesis that fish aggregate into coordinated flocks in order to protect themselves from predatory attacks. In order to test the protection capabilities of fish, a Prey-Predator instance is developed in which faults are...bachelor thesis 2022

Hop, Lucas (author)Persistent surveillance is the act of covering an environment persistently, as fast as possible. By exploiting the intelligence of the swarm, it is possible to create a swarm robotic persistent surveillance method that can deal with unknown dynamic environments without the need for complex computations or excessive storage. Using stigmergy,...master thesis 2021

Syriani, Thierry (author)In a quest to breathe new life into public spaces and engage with its today’s increasingly (inter-)connected users, robotic architectural components seem to open up possibilities to give agency to building component. A new field of research has been involving multi-agent robotic systems in the architectural design and/or fabrication process....master thesis 2020
