— We propose two contrasting approaches to the scalable distributed control of a swarm of self-assembling miniaturized robots, specifically the formation of chains of a desired ...
— As the ability to produce a large number of small, simple robotic agents improves, it becomes essential to control the behavior of these robots in such a way that the sum of th...
Abstract. In this paper, we review methods used for macroscopic modeling and analyzing collective behavior of swarm robotic systems. Although the behavior of an individual robot in...
— We present a comparative study of two spatially resolved macroscopic models of an autonomous robotic swarm. In previous experiments, the collective behavior of 15 autonomous sw...
Abstract—We present a distributed connectivity service that allows agents in a mobile ad-hoc network to move while preserving connectivity. This allows unmodified motion plannin...
