Controlling Swarms of Robots Using Interpolated Implicit Functions
— We address the synthesis of controllers for large groups of robots and sensors, tackling the specific problem of controlling a swarm of robots to generate patterns specified ...

No robot left behind: Coordination to overcome local minima in swarm navigation
Abstract— In this paper, we address navigation and coordination methods that allow swarms of robots to converge and spread along complex 2D shapes in environments containing unkn...

A coordination mechanism for swarm navigation: experiments and analysis
We present an algorithm that allows swarms of robots to navigate in environments containing unknown obstacles, moving towards and spreading along 2D shapes given by implicit funct...

Construction of Lyapunov functions for piecewise-deterministic Markov processes
The purpose of this contribution is twofold: 1) to present for the first time a Lyapunov function that proves exponential ergodicity of a process studied by the authors in [1], whe...
