We consider a distributed system consisting of autonomous mobile computing entities, called robots, moving in a specified space. The robots are anonymous, oblivious, and have neither any access to the global coordinate system nor any…

We consider a swarm of autonomous mobile robots each of which is an anonymous point in the three-dimensional Euclidean space (3D-space) and synchronously executes a common distributed algorithm. We investigate the pattern formation problem…

A fundamental problem in Distributed Computing is the Pattern Formation problem, where some independent mobile entities, called robots, have to rearrange themselves in such a way as to form a given figure from every possible…

We consider a distributed system of n identical mobile robots operating in the two dimensional Euclidian plane. As in the previous studies, we consider the robots to be anonymous, oblivious, dis-oriented, and without any communication…

Consider a set of $n$ simple autonomous mobile robots (asynchronous, no common coordinate system, no identities, no central coordination, no direct communication, no memory of the past, non-rigid, deterministic) initially in distinct…

Among fundamental problems in the context of distributed computing by autonomous mobile entities, one of the most representative and well studied is {\sc Point Convergence}: given an arbitrary initial configuration of identical entities,…

In this work we consider the problem of gathering autonomous robots in the plane. In particular, we consider non-transparent unit-disc robots (i.e., fat) in an asynchronous setting. Vision is the only mean of coordination. Using a…

We consider a swarm of $n$ autonomous mobile robots, distributed on a 2-dimensional grid. A basic task for such a swarm is the gathering process: All robots have to gather at one (not predefined) place. A common local model for extremely…

We consider a swarm of mobile robots evolving in a bidimensional Euclidean space. We study a variant of the crash-tolerant gathering problem: if no robot crashes, robots have to meet at the same arbitrary location, not known beforehand, in…

In this work, we initiate the research about the Gathering problem for robots with limited viewing range in the three-dimensional Euclidean space. In the Gathering problem, a set of initially scattered robots is required to gather at the…

Given a set of $n\geq 1$ autonomous, anonymous, indistinguishable, silent, and possibly disoriented mobile unit disk (i.e., fat) robots operating following Look-Compute-Move cycles in the Euclidean plane, we consider the Pattern Formation…

This paper presents a deterministic algorithm for forming a given asymmetric pattern in finite time by a set of autonomous, homogeneous, oblivious mobile robots under the CORDA model. The robots are represented as points on the 2D plane.…

The pattern formation task is commonly seen in a multi-robot system. In this paper, we study the problem of forming complex shapes with functionally limited mobile robots, which have to rely on other robots to precisely locate themselves.…

We consider the following variant of the two dimensional gathering problem for swarms of robots: Given a swarm of $n$ indistinguishable, point shaped robots on a two dimensional grid. Initially, the robots form a closed chain on the grid…

In the pattern formation problem, robots in a system must self-coordinate to form a given pattern, regardless of translation, rotation, uniform-scaling, and/or reflection. In other words, a valid final configuration of the system is a…

The problem of gathering multiple mobile robots to a single location, is one of the fundamental problems in distributed coordination between autonomous robots. The problem has been studied and solved even for robots that are anonymous,…

We study a recently introduced \textit{unconscious} mobile robot model, where each robot is associated with a \textit{color}, which is visible to other robots but not to itself. The robots are autonomous, anonymous, oblivious and silent,…

The traditional distributed model of autonomous, homogeneous, mobile point robots usually assumes that the robots do not create any visual obstruction for the other robots, i.e., the robots are see through. In this paper, we consider a…

In the arbitrary pattern formation problem, $n$ autonomous, mobile robots must form an arbitrary pattern $P \subseteq \mathbb{R}^2$. The (deterministic) robots are typically assumed to be indistinguishable, disoriented, and unable to…

Given a set of $n\geq 1$ unit disk robots in the Euclidean plane, we consider the Pattern Formation problem, i.e., the robots must reposition themselves to form a given target pattern. This problem arises under obstructed visibility, where…
