Abstract
Wang S, Li Y, Zhang S, Wang B, and Yang H. Relative localization of swarm robotics based on the polar method. International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems 2022; 19(1). DOI: 10.1177/17298806221080634.
A reader contacted the Journal Editor with concerns that the authors had not cited an article relevant to the development of their work:
Arvin F, Murray J, Zhang C, and Yue S. Colias: An autonomous micro robot for swarm robotic applications. International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems 2014; 11(7). DOI: 10.5772/58730.
Sage contacted the authors, who acknowledged that the published article inadvertently omitted a citation to the mentioned article. The authors noted that Arvin et al. had been a point of reference for their article and requested to correct their article to include a citation.
The robot and localization module section of the article (page 3) has been updated as follows:
“Inspired by the hierarchical design architecture and compact structure of the Colias robot presented in Arvin et al., our micro-robot adopts a three-layer structure, which is mainly composed of a perception layer, a decision-making layer and an execution layer.”
The authors sincerely apologize to the readers, the Editors, and to Dr. Arvin and co-authors for this oversight.
The Journal Editor reviewed the changes and confirmed that they do not alter the article conclusion.
