Abstract

Motion coordination is a remarkable phenomenon in biological systems and an extremely useful tool for groups of vehicles, mobile sensors, and embedded robotic systems. For many applications, teams of mobile autonomous agents need the ability to deploy over a region, assume a specified pattern, rendezvous at a common point, or move in a synchronized manner. These coordination tasks must often be achieved with minimal communication between agents and, therefore, with limited information about the global state of the system. The scientific motivation for studying motion coordination is the analysis of emergent and self-organized swarming behaviors in biological groups with distributed agent-to-agent interactions.
