This presentation will focus on robot teams and their use in real-world problems. Our vision is of a distributed robotic system that is made up of a large collection of medium size, small, and miniature robots all connected by a wireless communication network and cooperating to accomplish their given mission. We have built robots that can swim, roll, and fly by utilizing a unique blend of scientific principles and sound engineering. Our basis is an evolutionary robot design that has been deployed in thousands of sites all over the world. Speaker: Professor Nikolaos Papanikolopoulos
