We consider a collection of $k \geq 2$ robots that evolve in a ring-shaped network without common orientation, and address a variant of the crash-tolerant gathering problem called the \emph{Stand-Up Indulgent Gathering} (SUIG): given a…
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,…
