Distributed Construction by Mobile Robots with Enhanced Building Blocks
— We describe a system in which autonomous robots assemble two-dimensional structures out of square building blocks. A fixed set of local control rules is sufficient for a grou...

Spatial macroscopic models of a bio-inspired robotic swarm algorithm
— We present a comparative study of two spatially resolved macroscopic models of an autonomous robotic swarm. In previous experiments, the collective behavior of 15 autonomous sw...
