Achieving Consensus in Robot Swarms: Design and Analysis of Strategies for the best-of-n Problem: Studies in Computational Intelligence, cartea 706

Autor Gabriele Valentini
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 22 feb 2017
This book focuses on the design and analysis of collective decision-making strategies for the best-of-n problem. After providing a formalization of the structure of the best-of-n problem supported by a comprehensive survey of the swarm robotics literature, it introduces the functioning of a collective decision-making strategy and identifies a set of mechanisms that are essential for a strategy to solve the best-of-n problem. The best-of-n problem is an abstraction that captures the frequent requirement of a robot swarm to choose one option from of a finite set when optimizing benefits and costs. The book leverages the identification of these mechanisms to develop a modular and model-driven methodology to design collective decision-making strategies and to analyze their performance at different level of abstractions. Lastly, the author provides a series of case studies in which the proposed methodology is used to design different strategies, usingrobot experiments to show how the designed strategies can be ported to different application scenarios.

Caracteristici

Covers collective decision-making strategies for robot swarms Focuses on the design of self-organized solutions to the best-of-n problem—the problem of deciding which alternative among a finite set of options is the most beneficial choice for the swarm Deals with both theoretical and experimental aspects of collective decision-making and includes the results of experiments performed with a swarm of 100 robots Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
