After providing a formalization of the structure of the best-of-n problem supported by a comprehensive survey of the swarm robotics literature, it introduces the functioning of a collective decision-making strategy and identifies a set of mechanisms that are essential for a strategy to solve the best-of-n problem. The best-of-n problem is an abstraction that captures the frequent requirement of a robot swarm to choose one option from of a finite set when optimizing benefits and costs. The book leverages the identification of these mechanisms to develop a modular and model-driven methodology to design collective decision-making strategies and to analyze their performance at different level of abstractions. Lastly, the author provides a series of case studies in which the proposed methodology is used to design different strategies, using robot experiments to show how the designed strategies can be ported to different application scenarios. 000779752 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed February 27, 2017). 000779752 650_0 $$aSwarm intelligence. 000779752 650_0 $$aRobotics. 000779752 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z3319536087$$z9783319536088$$w(OCoLC)968663431 000779752 830_0 $$aStudies in computational intelligence ;$$vv. 706. 000779752 852__ $$bebk 000779752 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-53609-5$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000779752 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:779752$$pGLOBAL_SET 000779752 980__ $$aEBOOK 000779752 980__ $$aBIB 000779752 982__ $$aEbook 000779752 983__ $$aOnline 000779752 994__ $$a92$$bISE
