Abstract— We present an approach for smooth and collisionfree navigation of multiple mobile robots amongst each other. Each robot senses its surroundings and acts independently w...

—A collective of robots can together complete a task that is beyond the capabilities of any of its individual robots. One property of a robotic collective that allows it to compl...
— In this paper we present a new vision-based SLAM approach for multi-robot formulation. For a cooperative map reconstruction, the robots have to know each other’s relative pos...
— In multi-robot systems, task allocation and coordination are two fundamental problems that share high synergy. Although multi-robot architectures typically separate them into d...

— This paper presents a bio-inspired, distributed control algorithm called TENTACLES for a group of radio robots to move, self-configure and maintain communication between some c...

—The use of robots in assistive roles will be an increasingly significant application for robotics. Assistive robots need to physically interact with humans in a safe manner. We ...

— This paper presents a distributed control strategy for deploying hovering robots with multiple downward facing cameras to collectively monitor an environment. Information per p...
Abstract— This paper proposes a multiple robot control algorithm to approach the problem of patrolling an open or closed line. The algorithm is fully decentralized, i.e., no comm...

— We present a decentralized, scalable approach to assembling a group of heterogeneous parts into different products using a swarm of robots. While the assembly plans are predete...
Given a set of robots with arbitrary initial location and no agreement on a global coordinate system, convergence requires that all robots asymptotically approach the exact same, ...
