DESCRIPTION:Join us for a virtual event organized by the IEEE Computer Soci
 ety Chapter!\n\nTitle: MetaSwarmX: Decentralized Swarms of Swarms of Heter
 ogeneous Agents\n\nSummary: As robotics technology continues to innovate l
 arge collections of robotic agents have become more sophisticated and acce
 ssible leading to their use in both civilian and military applications. Ma
 ny of these applications treat the collection as a multi-robot system that
  is controlled in a centralized fashion\, which can be useful and have man
 y applications but this isn't swarm robotics. The MetaSwarmX project aims 
 to develop algorithms that can be used for swarms of swarms (a MetaSwarm) 
 of heterogeneous robots solving problems without human intervention in a d
 ecentralized and scalable fashion. These algorithms will be built with civ
 ilian applications in mind as a means to develop novel applications with t
 his emergent technology. The subject of swarm intelligence\, the emergent 
 technology\, the potential of the robots\, and the goals and status of the
  MetaSwarmX project will be discussed.\n----------------------------------

 ovel representations for evolutionary algorithms with applications to epid
 emic modelling and biological sequence discovery completing his PhD in Bio
 informatics and MSc in Computer Science in Canada. Now\, he studies decent
 ralized swarm intelligence with swarms of robots while completing his post
 -doc at Otto von Guericke University in Magdeburg\, Germany. He aims to be
  a teaching-focused professor in Computer Science\, where he will bring th
 e energy and passion to everything he does\; which may mean starting class
  with a cheer about being excited to learn!\n\nSpeaker(s): Michael Dubé\n

 tics technology continues to innovate large collections of robotic agents 
 have become more sophisticated and accessible leading to their use in both
  civilian and military applications. Many of these applications treat the 
 collection as a multi-robot system that is controlled in a centralized fas
 hion\, which can be useful and have many applications but this isn't swarm
  robotics. The MetaSwarmX project aims to develop algorithms that can be u
 sed for swarms of swarms (a MetaSwarm) of heterogeneous robots solving pro
