Imagine that a swarm of robots is given, these robots must communicate with each other, and they can do so if certain conditions are met. We say that the swarm is connected if there is at least one way to send a message between each pair of…

Reaching a consensus in a swarm of robots is one of the fundamental problems in swarm robotics, examining the possibility of reaching an agreement within the swarm members. The recently-introduced contamination problem offers a new…
