A Formal Analysis and Taxonomy of Task Allocation in Multi-Robot Systems
TLDR
A domain-independent taxonomy of MRTA problems is given, and it is shown how many such problems can be viewed as instances of other, well-studied, optimization problems.

Mobile Sensor Network Deployment using Potential Fields: A Distributed, Scalable Solution to the Area Coverage Problem
TLDR
This paper presents a potential-field-based approach to deployment of a mobile sensor network, where the fields are constructed such that each node is repelled by both obstacles and by other nodes, thereby forcing the network to spread itself throughout the environment.

Toward the Evolution of Dynamical Neural Networks for Minimally Cognitive Behavior
TLDR
The results of preliminary experiments on the evolution of dynamical neural networks for visually-guided orientation, object discrimination and accurate pointing with a simple manipulator to objects appearing in its field of view are presented.
Robots for use in autism research.
TLDR
The past decade's work in SAR systems designed for autism therapy is discussed by analyzing robot design decisions, human-robot interactions, and system evaluations and discusses challenges and future trends for this young but rapidly developing research area.

Interaction and intelligent behavior
TLDR
A novel formulation of reinforcement learning is proposed that makes behavior selection learnable in noisy, uncertain multi-agent environments with stochastic dynamics, and enables and accelerates learning in complex multi-robot domains.

Natural methods for robot task learning: instructive demonstrations, generalization and practice
TLDR
An approach for teaching robots that relies on the key features and the general approach people use when teaching each other: first give a demonstration, then allow the learner to refine the acquired capabilities by practicing under the teacher's supervision, involving a small number of trials.

Most valuable player: a robot device server for distributed control
TLDR
Player combines an efficient message protocol with a simple device model that provides transparent network access to a collection of sensors and actuators, often comprising a robot, and is implemented as a multithreaded TCP socket server.

Using Socially Assistive Human–Robot Interaction to Motivate Physical Exercise for Older Adults
TLDR
A strong user preference for the relational over the nonrelational robot in terms of enjoyableness, companionship, and as an exercise coach, varying user preferences regarding choice, and high user ratings of the system across multiple metrics are presented.
