: In this paper, our focus is on certain applications for mobile robotic networks, where reconfiguration is driven by factors intrinsic to the network rather than changes in the ex...
We propose distributed algorithms to automatically deploy a group of mobile robots to partition and provide coverage of a non-convex environment. To handle arbitrary nonconvex envi...
