Arbitrary Pattern Formation is a widely studied problem in autonomous robot systems. The problem asks to design a distributed algorithm that moves a team of autonomous, anonymous and identical mobile robots to form any arbitrary pattern…
We consider the fundamental benchmarking problem of gathering in an $(N,f)$-fault system consisting of $N$ robots, of which at most $f$ might fail at any execution, under asynchrony. Two seminal results established impossibility of a…
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…
Understanding the computational power of mobile robot systems is a fundamental challenge in distributed computing. While prior work has focused on pairwise separations between models, we explore how robot capabilities, light observability,…
A swarm of anonymous oblivious mobile robots, operating in deterministic Look-Compute-Move cycles, is confined within a circular track. All robots agree on the clockwise direction (chirality), they are activated by an adversarial…
This paper studies the gathering problem for a set of $N \ge 2$ autonomous mobile robots operating in the Euclidean plane under the distributed Look-Compute-Move model. We consider oblivious robots executing under the adversarial defected…
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…
The Arbitrary Pattern Formation problem asks for a distributed algorithm that moves a set of autonomous mobile robots to form any arbitrary pattern given as input. The robots are assumed to be autonomous, anonymous and identical. They…
Consider a finite set of identical computational entities that can move freely in the Euclidean plane operating in Look-Compute-Move cycles. Let p(t) denote the location of entity p at time t; entity p can see entity q at time t if at that…
Two fundamental problems of distributed computing are Gathering and Arbitrary pattern formation (\textsc{Apf}). These two tasks are different in nature as in gathering robots meet at a point but in \textsc{Apf} robots form a fixed pattern…
Gathering mobile robots is a widely studied problem in robotic research. This survey first introduces the related work, summarizing models and results. Then, the focus shifts on the open problem of gathering fat robots. In this context,…
An autonomous mobile robot system is a distributed system consisting of mobile computational entities (called robots) that autonomously and repeatedly perform three operations: Look, Compute, and Move. Various problems related to autonomous…
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…
This paper addresses the problem of Uniform Circle Formation by n > 1 transparent disc robots (fat robots). The robots execute repetitive cycles of the states look-compute-move in semi-synchronous manner where a set of robots execute the…
Robots need to have a memory of previously observed, but currently occluded objects to work reliably in realistic environments. We investigate the problem of encoding object-oriented memory into a multi-object manipulation reasoning and…
In this article, we investigate symmetry properties of distributed systems of mobile robots. We consider a swarm of $n\in\mathbb{N}$ robots in the $\mathcal{OBLOT}$ model and analyze their collective $\mathcal{F}$sync dynamics using of…
In this paper we investigate the computational power of a set of mobile robots with limited visibility. At each iteration, a robot takes a snapshot of its surroundings, uses the snapshot to compute a destination point, and it moves toward…
Pattern formation is one of the most fundamental problems in distributed computing, which has recently received much attention. In this paper, we initiate the study of distributed pattern formation in situations when some robots can be…
Robotics research has been focusing on cooperative multi-agent problems, where agents must work together and communicate to achieve a shared objective. To tackle this challenge, we explore imitation learning algorithms. These methods learn…
An oblivious mobile robot is a stateless computational entity located in a spatial universe, capable of moving in that universe. When activated, the robot observes the universe and the location of the other robots, chooses a destination,…
