Physicomimetics for Mobile Robot Formations

In prior work we established how physicomimetics can be used to self-organize hexagonal and square lattice formations of mobile robots. In this paper we extend the framework to moving formations, by providing additional theoretical analysis and showing how this theory facilitates the implementation of seven robots in a hexagonal formation moving towards a goal.
