An Overview of Physicomimetics
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...

Antbots: A Feasible Visual Emulation of Pheromone Trails for Swarm Robots
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 ...

Convergence Properties of the Gravitational Algorithm in Asynchronous Robot Systems
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...
