Algorithms for shaping a particle swarm with a shared input by exploiting non-slip wall contacts

IROS 2017poster

There are driving applications for large populations of tiny robots in robotics, biology, and chemistry. These robots often lack onboard computation, actuation, and communication. Instead, these “robots” are particles carrying some payload and the particle swarm is controlled by a shared control inp…

Mapping and coverage with a particle swarm controlled by uniform inputs

IROS 2017poster

We propose an approach to mapping tissue and vascular systems without the use of contrast agents, based on moving and measuring magnetic particles. To this end, we consider a swarm of particles in a 1D or 2D grid that can be tracked and controlled by an external agent. Control inputs are applied uni…
