Plant growth systems are a critical component of a comprehensive Bioregenerative Life Support System (BLiSS) for long-duration human space exploration missions. Previous BLiSS technology development and crop selection have primarily focused on optimization of edible biomass and caloric content. In light of advances in horticulture, human space flight science, technology...

We posit that embodied artificial intelligence is not only a computational but also a materials problem. While the importance of material and structural properties in the control loop are well understood, materials can take an active role during control by the tight integration of sensors, actuators, computation, and communication. We...

This paper examines the important problem of cooperative localization in robot swarms, in the presence of unmodeled errors experienced by real sensors in hardware platforms. Many existing methods for cooperative swarm localization rely on approximate distance metric heuristics based on properties of the communication graph. We present a new cooperative...
