A parallel distributed strategy for arraying a scattered robot swarm

IROS 2015poster

We consider the problem of organizing a scattered group of n robots in two-dimensional space. The communication graph of the swarm is connected, but there is no central authority for organizing it. We want to arrange them into a sorted and equally-spaced array between the robots with lowest and high…

Distributed cohesive control for robot swarms: Maintaining good connectivity in the presence of exterior forces

IROS 2015poster

We present a number of powerful local mechanisms for maintaining a dynamic swarm of robots with limited capabilities and information, in the presence of external forces and permanent node failures. We propose a set of local continuous algorithms that together produce a generalization of a Euclidean…
