Networked Robotics Projects at Wireless Sensor and Robot Networks Laboratory (WSRNLab)

Until 2015, during my full-time tenure at the department, we created numerous small mobile robots and conducted extensive research on cooperative behaviour. We published a subset of the outcomes across various forums. Here is a selection:
