In this paper, we consider the problem of scattering a swarm of mobile oblivious robots in a continuous space. We consider the fully asynchronous setting where robots may base their computation on past observations, or may be observed by…
We consider the mobile robot dispersion problem in the presence of faulty robots (crash-fault). Mobile robot dispersion consists of $k\leq n$ robots in an $n$-node anonymous graph. The goal is to ensure that regardless of the initial…
An asymmetric two-link robot supported atop a flat platform by wheels that roll and pivot freely, but do not slip laterally, will develop forward momentum if the joint between the links is actuated internally. In particular, oscillations in…
We consider a variant of the crash-fault gathering problem called stand-up indulgent gathering (SUIG). In this problem, a group of mobile robots must eventually gather at a single location, which is not known in advance. If no robots crash,…
