MIRRAX: A Reconfigurable Robot for Limited Access Environments

Wei Cheah et al.

Summary: The development of mobile robot platforms for inspection has advanced, but traditional robots cannot handle extreme environments. The MIRRAX robot addresses these challenges with its reconfigurable capability, and experimental validation proves its performance and controllability, as demonstrated in the deployment at the Magnox nuclear facility.

Swarm Intelligence and cyber-physical systems: Concepts, challenges and future trends

Melanie Schranz et al.

Summary: Swarm Intelligence is a multi-agent framework inspired by natural systems, where each agent acts autonomously and collaborates with others without central control. While well-designed swarms have advantages in adaptability, robustness, and scalability, they have not yet transitioned from lab demonstrations to real-world applications, especially in embodied scenarios like swarm robotics.

Finite-time distributed formation control for multiple unmanned surface vehicles with input saturation

Bing Huang et al.

Summary: This paper investigates finite-time distributed formation control for unmanned surface vessels (USVs) facing external disturbances, model uncertainties, and input saturation constraints. By combining sliding mode control and adaptive algorithms, two control architectures are developed to address the formation control problem of USVs. Utilizing Radial Basis Function Neural Networks (RBFNNs) and an adaptive mechanism, the study demonstrates achievable finite-time convergence under the proposed controllers.
