A broadcast-based coordination scheme for a system of autonomous mobile robots
… other heartbeats. We generate heartbeats with van der Pol oscillators, which are nonlinear oscillators that modify their output when coupled to other oscillators. Van der Pol oscillators have long been utilized in simulations, particularly to model rhythmic behavior in biological systems. In …

Coupled oscillators near resonance
… study the dynamics of two conservative librating oscillators with perturbations from a linear displacement coupling and non-Hamiltonian forces such as damping. We examine the dynamics of these systems when they are near a resonance using secular perturbation theory. We show that near resonance a …

Self-organization in large populations of mobile robots
… cooperative decision systems — such as coupled van der Pol oscillators — in finding and carrying the pallets are proposed. Sensors and communication systems that may be used in the Army-ant scenario are also briefly discussed.

A Model of the Production of Spontaneous Otoacoustic Emissions in the Tokay Gecko
… and the frequency selectivity of hearing. Under certain conditions, the active process generates spontaneous oscillations, which then produce spontaneous emissions. Little is known about the process by which the spontaneous oscillations of a collection of hair cells within the ear are …
