Distributed grasp synthesis for swarm manipulation with applications to autonomous tugboats
— Assume a swarm of mobile robots is in the act of transporting a large object in the plane, by applying unilateral forces to the perimeter of that object. We address the questio...

Decentralized cooperative control of heterogeneous vehicle groups
We coordinate in discrete time the interaction of two heterogeneous groups of mobile agents: a group of ground vehicles (ugvs) and a group of aerial vehicles (uavs). The ground ag...

Distributed Construction by Mobile Robots with Enhanced Building Blocks
— We describe a system in which autonomous robots assemble two-dimensional structures out of square building blocks. A fixed set of local control rules is sufficient for a grou...
