Dr. Andreagiovanni Reina (Research Fellow in Collective Robotics – University of Sheffield, UK) visited us for a seminar on January 23, 2020. In his lecture on “Collective Decision Making: From Bees to Robots via Multiscale Modelling”, he highlighted how the collective systems are inherently difficult to analyze and how his research is using multiscale modeling, to analyze the systems at various levels of complexity and detail, from macroscopic group-level dynamics to microscopic individual-level behavior, and from noise-free deterministic models to stochastic spatial descriptions. It was a very insightful talk and definitely can be very helpful in group human-robot interaction. More information about him and his research can be found at http://areina.staff.shef.ac.uk.
