Consider a system of multiple mobile robots in which each robot, at infinitely many
unpredictable time instants, observes the positions of all the robots and moves to a new …

We present a distributed algorithm for converging autonomous mobile robots with limited
visibility toward a single point. Each robot is an omnidirectional mobile processor that …

Given a convex potential in a space with convex obstacles, an artificial potential is used to
navigate to the minimum of the natural potential while avoiding collisions. The artificial …

We study the problem of construction by autonomous mobile robots focusing on the
coordination strategy employed by the robots to solve a simple construction problem …

We introduce the use of hierarchical clustering for relaxed deterministic coordination and
control of multiple robots. Traditionally, an unsupervised learning method, hierarchical …

In this paper, we propose a methodology for implementing multirobot navigation-function-
based controllers to mixed teams of holonomic and nonholonomic agents. A new …

This paper presents a methodology to design a control law that can provably steer a group
of mobile agents to a free-floating formation of specific shape, while avoiding collisions. We …

Complex manipulation tasks, such as rearrangement planning of numerous objects, are
combinatorially hard problems. Existing algorithms either do not scale well or assume a …

This paper addresses the coordinated navigation of multiple independently actuated disk-
shaped robots-all placed within the same disk-shaped workspace. Assuming perfect …

In this paper, we study the design and control of automated guided vehicle (AGV) systems,
with the focus on the quayside container transport in an automated container terminal. We …
