"This book explores membrane computing in the context of the fast developing field of robotics and presents the fundamental concepts of decentralized control, local interaction, stigmergy, and emerging intelligence. It also explores the basic P systems models, software stimulators, and how they are used to solve problems"--
Florea and Buiu describe using membrane computing for robot control, first setting out the fundamental concepts of membrane computing and mobile computing then explaining methods for designing and using membrane computing based controllers for single mobile robots and for swarms of mobile robots. They cover an overview of swarm robotics, membrane computing: theory and applications, software for membrane computing, P colonies for the control of single and multiple robots, and a generic guide for using membrane computing in robot control.
