Unconventional research in USSR and Russia: short overview
This work briefly surveys unconventional research in Russia from the end of
the 19th until the beginning of the 21th centuries in areas related to
generation and detection of a 'high-penetrating' emission of non-biological
origin. The overview is based on open scientific and journalistic materials.
The unique character of this research and its history, originating from
governmental programs of the USSR, is shown. Relations to modern studies on
biological effects of weak electromagnetic emission, several areas of
bioinformatics and theories of physical vacuum are discussed
Three Cases of Connectivity and Global Information Transfer in Robot Swarms
In this work we consider three different cases of robot-robot interactions
and resulting global information transfer in robot swarms. These mechanisms
define cooperative properties of the system and can be used for designing
collective behavior. These three cases are demonstrated and discussed based on
experiments in a swarm of microrobots "Jasmine"
