DANCeRS: A Distributed Algorithm for Negotiating Consensus in Robot Swarms with Gaussian Belief Propagation

ICRA 2026poster

Robot swarms require cohesive collective behaviour to address diverse challenges, including shape formation and decision-making. Existing approaches often treat consensus in discrete and continuous decision spaces as distinct problems. We present DANCeRS, a unified, distributed algorithm leveraging …

A Distributed Multi-Robot Framework for Exploration, Information Acquisition and Consensus

ICRA 2024poster

The distributed coordination of robot teams performing complex tasks is challenging to formulate. The different aspects of a complete task such as local planning for obstacle avoidance, global goal coordination and collaborative mapping are often solved separately, when clearly each of these should…

Distributing Collaborative Multi-Robot Planning With Gaussian Belief Propagation

RA-L 2023

Precise coordinated planning over a forward time window enables safe and highly efficient motion when many robots must work together in tight spaces, but this would normally require centralised control of all devices which is difficult to scale. We demonstrate GBP Planning, a new purely distributed
