Distributed boundary coverage with a team of networked miniature robots using a robust market-based algorithm
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...

Aggregation-mediated collective perception and action in a group of miniature robots
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...

Construction of Lyapunov functions for piecewise-deterministic Markov processes
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...
