Physicomimetics for Mobile Robot Formations
In prior work we established how physicomimetics can be used to self-organize hexagonal and square lattice formations of mobile robots. In this paper we extend the framework to mo...

An Overview of Physicomimetics
This paper provides an overview of our framework, called physicomimetics, for the distributed control of swarms of robots. We focus on robotic behaviors that are similar to those s...

A general algorithm for robot formations using local sensing and minimal communication
Abstract-We study the problem of achieving global behavior in a group of distributed robots using only local sensing and minimal communication, in the context of formations. The go...
