Topics of Interest

My research interest is the design and analysis of swarm-intelligent systems, the modeling of their dynamics, and their implementation on real robotic platforms.

Paramount questions are how potentially intelligent collective behavior emerges out of the interaction of a large number of individuals, and how an individual needs to be designed in order to achieve a desired collective behavior.

I am also interested in contrasting self-organized approaches with classical deterministic approaches for multi-robot coordination.
