Path formation in a robot swarm
We present two swarm intelligence control mechanisms used for distributed robot path formation. In the first, the robots form linear chains. We study three variants of robot chains...

Segregation in swarms of mobile robots based on the Brazil nut effect
— We study a simple algorithm inspired by the Brazil nut effect for achieving segregation in a swarm of mobile robots. The algorithm lets each robot mimic a particle of a certain...

Self-organized flocking in mobile robot swarms
In this paper, we study self-organized flocking in a swarm of mobile robots. We present Kobot, a mobile robot platform developed specifically for swarm robotic studies. We describe...

To flock or not to flock: the pros and cons of flocking in long-range "migration" of mobile robot swarms
This study investigates the pros and cons of flocking in longrange “migration” of mobile robot swarms under the influence of different factors. We present a flocking behav...

Distributed, Physics-Based Control of Swarms of Vehicles
We introduce a framework, called "physicomimetics," that provides distributed control of large collections of mobile physical agents in sensor networks. The agents sense...
