Distributed, Physics-Based Control of Swarms of Vehicles
We introduce a framework, called "physicomimetics," that provides distributed control of large collections of mobile physical agents in sensor networks. The agents sense...

Physical parameter optimization in swarms of ultra-low complexity agents
Physical agents (such as wheeled vehicles, UAVs, hovercraft, etc.) with simple control systems are often sensitive to changes in their physical design and control parameters. As s...
