On sensing and control methods for super-mechano colonies

Abstract

As a sub-theme of the TITech COE/SMS research project, we began the Super-Mechano Colony (SMC) project at the end of last year, addressing a new stage of collective robotics. After a short review of the related study fields, the motivation and the objective of the SMC project is described. Then, the current study plan of the SMC project is presented briefly. Finally, some preliminary study results for this project is reported.
