In many cases several mobile robots (autonomous agents) can be used together to accomplish tasks that would be either more difficult or impossible for a robot acting alone. Many different models have been suggested for the makeup of such collections of robots. In this paper the authors present a taxonomy of the different ways in which such a collection

Decentral control of a robot-swarm
Proceedings Autonomous Decentralized Systems, 2005. ISADS 2005., 2005In this paper, we present an approach to construct a universal architecture to control a team of autonomous robots. The suggested approach is robust against communication problems and robots' hardware failures. The system profits from its decentral architecture.

From Swarm Intelligence to Swarm Robotics
2005The term “swarm” has been applied to many systems (in biology, engineering, computation, etc.) as they have some of the qualities that the English-language term “swarm” denotes. With the growth of the various area of “swarm” research, the “swarm” terminology has become somewhat confusing.

Hierarchical abstractions for robotic swarms
Proceedings 2006 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2006. ICRA 2006., 2006We develop a hierarchical framework for planning and control of arbitrarily large groups of fully actuated robots with polyhedral velocity bounds (swarm) moving in polygonal environments with polygonal obstacles. At the first level of hierarchy, we aggregate the high dimensional control system of the swarm into a small dimensional control system ...

When lots of robots come together to form shapes, spread in an area, or move in one direction, their motion has to be planned carefully. We discuss how mathematicians devise strategies to help swarms of robots behave like an experienced, coordinated team.

Swarm Robotics is a biologically inspired approach to the organisation and control of groups of robots. Its biological inspiration is mainly drawn from social insects, but also from herding and flocking phenomena in mammals and fish. The promise of emulating some of the efficient organisational principles of biological swarms is an alluring one.

The Robot in the Swarm: An Investigation into Agent Embodiment within Virtual Robotic Swarms
2003This paper explores the notion of ‘degree of embodiment’ within the context of autonomous agent research, specifically within swarms of virtual robotic agents. Swarms of virtual robots with systematically varied degrees of embodiment are designed and implemented, and a 3D world created for them.

Reactive Synthesis for Robotic Swarms
2018We consider the problem of reactive synthesis for systems with non-instantaneous actions, i.e., it may take an arbitrary amount of time for the actions of the system to complete, and meanwhile the input from the environment may also change, possibly requiring a different response from the system.
