Experiments have demonstrated the feasibility of the hybrid hierarchical/self-organized control approach.
“While experiments have demonstrated the feasibility of the approach [88], [89], much needs to be done to understand how the rules that allow the creation of the hierarchical control structure should be designed as a function of the task that the robot swarm has to perform, and how the passage from purely self-organized to hierarchical control and back can be activated as a function of the task and”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
