Navigation-based optimization of stochastic strategies for allocating a robot swarm among multiple sites
— We present a decentralized, communication-less approach to the dynamic allocation of a swarm of homogeneous robots to a target distribution among multiple sites. Building on ou...

Synchronization in networks of nonlinear oscillators with coupling delays
Abstract— We consider the synchronization problem of an arbitrary number of coupled nonlinear oscillators with delays in the interconnections. The emphasis is on coupled Lorenz s...
