Brief announcement: deaf, dumb, and chatting robots

Published:10 August 2009Publication History

ABSTRACT

We introduce the use of movement-signals (analogously to flight signals and bees waggle) as a mean to transfer messages, enabling the use of distributed algorithms among the robots. We propose one-to-one deterministic movement protocols that implement explicit communication.
