- Abstract: The current state of electronic component miniaturization coupled with the
increasing efficiency in hardware and software allow the development of smaller
and compact robotic systems. The convenience of using these small, simple, yet
capable robots has gathered the research community's attention towards
practical applications of swarm robotics. This paper presents the design of a
novel platform for swarm robotics applications that is low cost, easy to
assemble using off-the-shelf components, and deeply integrated with the most
used robotic framework available today: ROS (Robot Operating System). The
robotic platform is entirely open, composed of a 3D printed body and
open-source software. We describe its architecture, present its main features,
and evaluate its functionalities executing experiments using a couple of
robots. Results demonstrate that the proposed mobile robot is very effective
given its small size and reduced cost, being suitable for swarm robotics
research and education.

Transfer [57.045140028275036]
We consider the problem of transferring a policy across two different robots with significantly different parameters such as kinematics and morphology.
Existing approaches that train a new policy by matching the action or state transition distribution, including imitation learning methods, fail due to optimal action and/or state distribution being mismatched in different robots.
We propose a novel method named $REvolveR$ of using continuous evolutionary models for robotic policy transfer implemented in a physics simulator.

This paper argues that training of future Roboticists and Robotics Engineers in Computer Science departments, requires the extensive direct work with real robots.
This is exactly the problem that Robotics Labs encountered in early 2020, at the start of the Covid pandemic.
The exciting insight in the conclusion is that the work that was encouraged and triggered by a pandemic seems to have very positive longer-term benefits.
