In field environments it is not usually possible to provide robots in advance with valid geometric models of its environment and task element locations. The robot or robot teams ne...
In this paper, we introduce a self-assembling and self-organizing artifact, called a swarm-bot, composed of a swarm of s-bots, mobile robots with the ability to connect to and to ...
