SUMMARY:Jonas Kuckling (University of Konstanz)\, “Living on the Edge – Scalability and Two-Phase Performance in Multi-Robot Systems”
DESCRIPTION:Scalability is often lauded as one of the advantages of decentralized multi-robot systems and robot swarms. Theory and many experimental works predict that with increasing swarm density\, we will observe a gradual decay of performance. In our work\, we have taken a closer look at the scalability of robot swarms in different settings and we have noticed that the predicted decay does not always appear to be gradual. Instead\, the performance splits into two phases\, potentially causing catastrophic failures at near-optimal swarm densities. In this talk\, I will provide an overview of our empirical and theoretical analyses of scalability behavior in robot swarms and the resulting considerations for the design of robot swarms. \n  \nImage created in DALL-E by Maria Ott.

SUMMARY:Konstantinos Voudouris (Helmholtz AI\, University of Cambridge)\, “ What Are AI Capabilities and How Can We Measure Them?”
DESCRIPTION:What can AI systems do? Answering this question requires us to model their capabilities\, but this first demands a clear conception of what capabilities are and which tools we can use to measure them. I advance a dispositional account of capabilities\, understanding them as a system’s propensity to behave in certain ways under certain conditions. I then survey the tools we have at our disposal to measure capabilities\, and what the nascent field of AI Evaluation can learn from the broader cognitive sciences. \n  \nPhoto by Stefan Cosma on Unsplash

SUMMARY:Vito Trianni (Institute of Cognitive Sciences and Technologies\, CNR Rome)\, "Emergence and Heterogeneity in Minimalist Robot Swarms"
DESCRIPTION:Far-reaching perspectives in swarm robotics consider robots that are minimalist in their sensing\, communication and computation\, but are deployed in thousands to collaborate towards the accomplishment of tasks distributed in space and time. Generally speaking\, future robot swarms might face harsh operating conditions where little communication is possible and no external infrastructure is available. These robots might not be able to efficiently communicate with a central controller and might not have the perceptual and computational abilities to self-localise or precisely plan their movements. It is therefore necessary to study collaborative strategies that do not rely on complex control and interaction rules. In this talk\, I will present studies about minimalist approaches to collective behaviours based on random walks and simple communication systems. I will introduce the concept of Adaptive Random Walks as a tool to design simple emergent behaviours in minimalist robot swarms\, and present the case of team formation and aggregation\, showing how heterogeneity in the swarm can be beneficial to improve efficiency while maintaining the complexity low. I will then discuss minimal quorum sensing strategies\, and discuss which communication protocol provide benefits for group coordination. \n  \nPhoto by Christopher Burns on Unsplash
