Robotic Evolutionary Self-Programming and Self-Assembling Organisms
Annotation in Czech
The proposed project focuses on the development of an advanced robotic system, consisting of a super-large-scale swarm (300-500) of small (30-50 cm3) autonomous mobile micro-robots that are capable of self-assembling into large artificial organisms of upto 0,25m3 in size. These robot organisms possess common energy and information buses as well as reliable legged, wheeled or clabbering modular locomotion, which can be autonomously reconfigured. Owing to the heterogeneity of the elementary robots and their capability to share resources, the robot organisms are able to achieve a large computational power and extended close- and far-range sensing and communication capabilities. The energy is autonomously harvested from external power sources. The main goal of the project is the development of novel principles of unsupervised work, self-configuring, self-adjusting and self-learning for interacting robot organisms. The bio-inspired evolutionary approach and evolvable hardware structure enables the rob
