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...

Abstract— For the multi-robot coverage problem deterministic deliberative as well as probabilistic approaches have been proposed. Whereas deterministic approaches usually provide...
Abstract— We present an approach for the dynamic assignment and reassignment of a large team of homogeneous robotic agents to multiple locations with applications to search and r...
In this paper we present an experimental setup to model the pheromone trail based foraging behaviour of ants using a special phosphorescent glowing paint. We have built two custom ...

This paper considers the convergence problem in autonomous mobile robot systems. A natural algorithm for the problem requires the robots to move towards their center of gravity. Th...
