Modelling collective behaviour in different circumstances remains a challenge because of uncertainty related to interaction rule changes. Here, the authors report plasticity in local interaction rules in flocks of wild jackdaws with implications for

This paper investigates a hybrid solution which combines deep reinforcement learning (RL) and classical trajectory planning for the "following in front" application. Here, an autonomous robot aims to stay ahead of a person as the person freely walks

Current understanding of collective behaviour in nature is based largely on models that assume that identical agents obey the same interaction rules, but in reality interactions may be influenced by social relationships among group members. Here, we

This paper describes a system whereby a robot detects and tracks human-meaningful navigational cues as it navigates in an indoor environment. It is intended as the sensor front-end for a mobile robot system that can communicate its navigational conte

We expand on previous work for negotiating human-robot navigation contention around doorways to produce a more socially-compliant autonomous robot behaviour. Our goal is to improve the integration of robots navigating in human environments by eliciti

Collective behaviour is typically thought to arise from individuals following fixed interaction rules. The possibility that interaction rules may change under different circumstances has thus only rarely been investigated. Here we show that local int

Biologists have shown that certain species of birds flock in groups at least partially composed of pairs, believed to be stable mate pairs. In this paper we consider synthetic flocks containing pairs, and show that this structure can be used to reduc

As one of nature's most striking examples of collective behaviour, bird flocks have attracted extensive research. However, we still lack an understanding of the attractive and repulsive forces that govern interactions between individuals within flock

We demonstrate an autonomous ground robot capable of exploring unknown indoor environments for reconstructing their 2D maps. This problem has been traditionally tackled by geometric heuristics and information theory. More recently, deep learning and

We propose a novel scheme that jointly addresses the problems of powering and coordinating a population of mini-robots for collective construction. In our setting, a population of simple mobile robots must push blocks into desired polygonal shapes. E
