Swarm Microrobotics aims to apply Swarm Intelligence algorithms and strategies to a large number of fabricated miniaturized autonomous or semi-autonomous agents, allowing collective, decentralized and self-organizing behaviors of the robots. The ability to establish basic information networking is fundamental in such swarm systems, where inter-robot communication is the base of emergent behavio...

|New reactive behaviors that implement formations in multi-robot teams are presented and evaluated. The formation behaviors are integrated with other navigational behaviors to enable a robotic team to reach navigational goals, avoid hazards and simultaneously remain in formation. The behaviors are implemented in simulation, on robots in the laboratory and aboard DARPA's HMMWV-based Unmanned Gro...

An autonomous robot system is a distributed comprising mobile robots that perform tasks of interest such as formation and flocking. In basic model when have no lights (no memory communication devices), Gathering, type problem asks all the to meet at single point not known priori, impossible if semi-synchronous (SSYNC, subset synchronously activated each time) or even centralized (only one [7], ...
