This paper introducer a methodology developed for the self-organization of a colony of holons in its task space where holons act as intelligent agents in this decentralized robotic structure such that they self localize themselves in the reconfiguration task space of their colony and identify their individual role in the colony re-organization. We term such an n-holon colony where intelligent agents can self-localize in the reconfiguration task space without their individual tasks within the colony configuration being assigned by a central controller, an n-Holony.

Swarm robotics: From sources of inspiration to domains of application Şahin, Erol (2005-01-01) Swarm robotics is a novel approach to the coordination of large numbers of relatively simple robots which takes its inspiration from social insects. This paper proposes a definition to this newly emerging approach by 1) describing the desirable properties of swarm robotic systems, as observed in the system-level functioning of social insects, 2) proposing a definition for the term swarm robotics, and putting forward a set of criteria that can be used to distinguish swarm robotics research from other multi-r...
Design, production and development of mini/micro robots to form a cooperative colony Başaran, Dilek; Erden, Abdülkadir; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2003) Design, production and development of individual mini/micro robots and then formation of their cooperative colony are the main topics of this thesis. The produced mini/micro robots are as small and light as possible. In addition, they are multifunctional (programmable), flexible and intelligent while maintaining a very low production cost. Mini/micro robots, called MinT-DB series are able to communicate with each other to work cooperatively. Moreover, these robots can be the basis for the future studies con...
Collective gradient perception with a flying robot swarm Karaguzel, Tugay Alperen; Turgut, Ali Emre; Eiben, A. E.; Ferrante, Eliseo (2022-10-01) In this paper, we study the problem of collective and emergent sensing with a flying robot swarm in which social interactions among individuals lead to following the gradient of a scalar field in the environment without the need of any gradient sensing capability. We proposed two methods-desired distance modulation and speed modulation-with and without alignment control. In the former, individuals modulate their desired distance to their neighbors and in the latter, they modulate their speed depending on th...
Dynamic formation control with heterogeneous mobile robots Çimenci, Kadir; Erkmen, Aydan Müşerref; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2016) Formation control in robotics is a growing topic where research works are mainly geared towards heterogeneous swarm colonies under either decentralized control or limited centralization. Swarm robotics where decentralization is applied, nevertheless assume that the agents are capable of getting global information about the whole swarm.Moreoverintheliterature,formationcontrolisgenerallydoneforknownﬁxed shapesthatcanbedeﬁnedmathematically.

SPEED PERCEPTION IN MULTISENSORY PROFILES: WHAT IS THE EFFECT OF ATTENTION? Kavaklıoğlu, Efsun; Özge, Umut; Kafalıgönül, Hulusi; Department of Bioinformatics (2022-2-7) Multisensory processing and crossmodal interactions in the temporal domain are crucial for survival in a dynamic environment. Temporal ventriloquism illusion demonstrates the importance of the crossmodal interactions in the temporal domain and the influences of the auditory signals (e.g., auditory time intervals) on visual perception. Attention is another mechanism playing a critical role in sensory processing, and it allows us to prioritize relevant information in the visual field. Previous studies have sh...
