We consider the problem of distributed exploration or coverage of an unknown environment by a swarm of mobile minirobots that have limited memory, computation and communication ca...
— This paper formalizes and proposes an algorithm to compute coverage diameters of polygons in 2D. Roughly speaking, the coverage diameter of a polygon is the longest possible di...
Area coverage is one of the emerging problems in multi-robot coordination. In this task a team of robots is cooperatively trying to observe or sweep an entire area, possibly conta...
In this paper we study averaging algorithms and coverage control laws in a unified light. First, we characterize the convergence properties of averaging algorithms over acyclic di...
