摘要：
本文介绍了Pogobot，一个专为群体机器人与活性物质交叉领域研究设计的开源平台。Pogobot具备基于振动或基于轮子的运动方式、快速红外通信以及传感器阵列，并以成本效益高的封装提供（约250欧元/台）。该平台的模块化设计、全面的API和可扩展架构有助于实现群体智能算法与集体运动。Pogobot为现有平台提供了一种可及的替代方案，同时具备先进能力，包括单元之间的定向通信和快速运动，且外形紧凑。超过200台Pogobot已在多所大学日常使用，用于研究自组织系统、可编程活性物质、离散反应-扩散-对流系统以及社会学习与进化的计算模型。本文详细介绍了围绕Pogobot构建的硬件与软件架构、通信协议、运动机制和基础设施。
英文摘要：
This paper describes the Pogobot, an open-source platform specifically designed for research at the interface of swarm robotics and active matter. Pogobot features vibration-based or wheel-based locomotion, fast infrared communication, and an array of sensors in a cost-effective package (approx. 250euros/unit). The platform's modular design, comprehensive API, and extensible architecture facilitate the implementation of swarm intelligence algorithms and collective motion. Pogobots offer an accessible alternative to existing platforms while providing advanced capabilities including directional communication between units and fast locomotion, all with a compact form factor. More than 200 Pogobots are already being used on a daily basis in several Universities to study self-organizing systems, programmable active matter, discrete reaction-diffusion-advection systems and computational models of social learning and evolution. This paper details the hardware and software architecture, communication protocols, locomotion mechanisms, and the infrastructure built around the Pogobots.
