A New Distributed Model to Control and Coordinate a Set of Autonomous Mobile Robots: The Corda Model
- Over the past few years, the focus of robotic design has been moving from a scenario where few, specialized (and expensive) units were used to solve a variety of tasks, to a scenario where many, general purpose (and cheap) units were used to achieve some common goal. Consequently, part of the foc

Instantaneous Actions vs. Full Asynchronicity: Controlling and Coordinating a Set of Autonomous Mobile Robots
- Over the past few years, the focus of robotic design has been moving from a scenario where few, specialized (and expensive) units were used to solve a variety of tasks, to a scenario where many, general purpose (and cheap) units were used to achieve some common goal. Consequently, part of the focus

Achievable Patterns by an Even Number of Autonomous Mobile Robots
- The distributed coordination and control of a set of autonomous, mobile agents/robots is a widely studied topic in a variety of elds, such as engineering, articial intelligence, and articial life. In the majority of the studies, the problem has been approached from an empirical point of view. A d

Gathering Autonomous Mobile Robots in Non Totally Symmetric Configurations
- We study the problem of coordinating a set of autonomous mobile robots that can freely move in a two-dimensional plane; in particular, we want them to gather at a point not fixed in advance (Gathering Problem). We introduce a model of weak robots (decentralized, asynchronous, no common knowledge,

Flocking by A Set of Autonomous Mobile Robots
- mplish what they are asked to do? And another question is: How simple can these units be [7]? In this paper we study the ocking problem: a set of mobile units are required to follow a leader unit while keeping a predetermined formation (i.e., they are required to move in ock, like a group of soldie

Need a Fleet? Use the Force!
- this paper, and the main motivation for writing it, was provided to us by Professor Chew Becca, from the Tattooine University, who was visiting our Department a few months ago. He presented us with a problem that seemed to be --- to him --- of the greatest practical importance. His stay at our Depar

Coordination without Communication: The Case of the Flocking Problem
- In this paper, we study the distributed coordination and control of a set of asynchronous, anonymous, memoryless mobile vehicles that can freely move on a twodimensional plane but cannot communicate among themselves. In particular, we analyze the problem of forming a certain pattern and following a

Hard Tasks for Weak Robots: The Role of Common Knowledge in Pattern Formation by Autonomous Mobile Robots
- In this paper we aim at an understanding of the fundamental algorithmic limitations on what a set of autonomous mobile robots can or cannot achieve. We study a hard task for a set of weak robots. The task is for the robots in the plane to form any arbitrary pattern that is given in advance. The

Gathering of Asynchronous Oblivious Robots with Limited Visibility
- We consider a collection of robots which are identical (anonymous) , have limited visibility of the environment, and no memory of the past (oblivious); furthermore, they are totally asynchronous in their actions, computations, and movements. We show that, even in such a totally asynchronous sett
