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 mo...

Abstract. This paper summarizes a novel framework, called “physicomimetics,” for the distributed control of large collections of mobile physical agents in sensor networks. The ...
This paper provides an overview of our framework, called physicomimetics, for the distributed control of swarms of robots. We focus on robotic behaviors that are similar to those s...

We introduce a framework, called "physicomimetics," that provides distributed control of large collections of mobile physical agents in sensor networks. The agents sense...

Abstract-We study the problem of achieving global behavior in a group of distributed robots using only local sensing and minimal communication, in the context of formations. The go...
