…scalable control and fleet management of robot teams and swarms, enabling robot teams to collaborate on tasks including formations, exploration, and foraging. Prior to her work, nearly all research was restricted to single robots or pairs, the ACM said. Her contributions to the theory and practice of multi-robot coordination showed that complex collective behaviors could be composed of basic behaviors in a principled way, bringing rigor to the then nascent discipline of distributed robotics. Her work on distributed robotics and multi-robot coordination and learning provide a formal analysis of robot coordination approaches, describing formal and practical limitations, and contributing scalable…

…said Scythe’s mowers are not currently set up for “swarm robotics,” or deploying multiple robots in the same mow zone simultaneously. But that doesn’t mean each robot runs in isolation. She said zone sharing allows an operator to use one robot to map and set up zones while a second operator moves additional mowers into each zone to start mowing. “We're working towards more efficiency, and all the ways we can reduce touch points for operators when they're mowing with multiple robots,” Hamilton said. Scythe’s M.52 mowers back up their zones to the cloud, but an on-robot planner performs navigation…

…and mission planners to remotely command and control a swarm of uncrewed vehicles across air, land, and sea through a Web browser. By enabling real-time video feed, and telemetry, and easy access and management of captured data, Cloud Ground Control provides full remote visibility and situational awareness in search-and-rescue, emergency response, and disaster relief operations, said Advanced Navigation. Guiding visually impaired passengers—As part of the New South Wales (NSW) Small Business Innovation and Research (SBIR) program, Advanced Navigation has developed an indoor positioning technology to support members of the visually impaired community navigate safely inside underground train stations. “UTS is…

…adapt to changing circumstances on the fly. Autonomous robot swarms can share the load As AMR technology advances further, we expect even more exciting developments in this field, with autonomous robots becoming more intelligent and versatile than ever before. One such development is swarm autonomy. Picture a swarm of bees flying together in perfect formation, each bee adjusting its flight pattern in real-time to maintain the optimal position. In a warehouse setting, swarm autonomy requires a wireless communications network with real-time capability. Using a combination of sensors and artificial intelligence or machine learning algorithms, the AMRs can communicate with one…

…Me, IAM Robotics has combined the flexibility of the swarm model with some linear control benefits of the follow-me model, claimed Link. He noted that the company was deliberate about creating a software platform that treats humans and robots as separate agents working in their own directed workflows. Unlike AMR systems where the human must follow the robot to complete picks, IAM designed Meet Me to give the worker more agency, he said, highlighting that the worker has an attached tablet on their wrist and does not rely on one placed on the robot. Link said the Lumabot is capable…

…UnboxSort designed to solve three problems “Powered by a swarm intelligence-based sorting mechanism, the UnboxSort system empowers customers to process parcel sortation efficiently and helps them scale up their operations and transition to Industry 4.0 with ease,” said Ghadge. He explained that UnboxSort, “smart racks,” and its multi-robot control software can solve three problems: Area: By providing a dense area for robots to move and lift bins between conveyance and putwalls, Unbox's systems can compress operations to 70% to 50% of the space, Ghadge said. Modularity: Unbox claimed that its systems can be installed less than two weeks without requiring…
