Distributed algorithms for multi-robot systems

Published: 25 April 2007 Publication History

Abstract

This demonstration showcases distributed algorithms for configuration control in multi-robot systems. These algorithms include examples of gradient communication, clustering and dispersion, group motion, and network characterization. The algorithms are demonstrated on a swarm of 15 mobile robots.
