Algorithms for Control and Interaction of Large Formations of Robots
NSF and NASA sponsored a workshop to discuss harvesting solar power in space. One solution considered was the use of a swarm of robots to form a solar reflector. How can these rob...

An Implementation of Robot Formations using Local Interactions
Coordinating a group of robots to work in formation has been suggested for a number of tasks, such as urban searchand-rescue, traffic control, and harvesting solar energy. Algorit...

Boundary following by robot formations without GPS
— We design sensing algorithms and a control law for a group of mobile robots to follow a boundary curve without utilizing a global positioning system (GPS). The sensing algorith...

Automatic Synthesis of Controllers for Distributed Assembly and Formation Forming
We consider the task of assembling a large number of self controlled parts (or robots) into copies of a prescribed assembly (or formation). In particular, we introduce a way to sy...
