SUMMARY:GRASP Special Seminar: Steven Ceron\, Cornell University\, “Swarms Across Length Scales with Local-to-Global Behaviors”
DESCRIPTION:*This will be a HYBRID Event with in-person attendance in Towne 337 and Virtual attendance via Zoom \nCollectives in nature demonstrate behaviors that extend far beyond the capabilities of any single agent. Social slime mold\, for example\, has thousands of cells that aggregate and form mobile and immobile nutrient-searching structures as a function of chemical signals. This species embodies many features that swarm roboticists wish to incorporate in scalable\, self-reconfigurable robot collectives: local-to-global behaviors\, low-level communication\, plasticity\, and simple constituents. I argue that regardless of the length scale\, we can implement some of the same principles and features to exploit robot morphology\, physical interactions among agents\, and low-level coordination mechanisms to enable diverse collective behaviors for useful functions in many fields. I present novel emergent collective behaviors at the macro-scale and micron scale and explain how each behavior arises as a function of agents interacting with other agents\, agents reacting to their environment\, and agents exploiting their environment to affect other agents. Specifically\, I show cell-inspired\, macro-scale soft robot collectives for distributed systems with coupled sensing and actuation\, magnetic microrobot collectives with reconfigurable behaviors and functions for biomedical applications\, and cross-scale coordination mechanisms through virtual swarming coupled oscillators for macro- and micro-scale collective control applications.
