We study distributed boundary coverage of known environments using a team of miniature robots. Distributed boundary coverage is an instance of the multi-robot task-allocation prob...

We introduce a novel case study in which a group of miniaturized robots screen an environment for undesirable agents, and destroy them. Because miniaturized robots are usually end...

Robotic swarms, like all spatial computers, are a challenging environment for the execution of distributed consensus algorithms due to their scale, diameter, and frequent failures...
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...
