Intelligent and autonomous agents is a subarea of symbolic artificial intelligence where
these agents decide, either reactively or proactively, upon a course of action by reasoning …

This self-contained introduction to the distributed control of robotic networks offers a
distinctive blend of computer science and control theory. The book presents a broad set of …

We provide a theoretical framework for controlling graph connectivity in mobile robot
networks. We discuss proximity-based communication models composed of disk-based or …

This book presents the most important fault-tolerant distributed programming abstractions
and their associated distributed algorithms, in particular in terms of reliable communication …

The study of what can be computed by a team of autonomous mobile robots, originally
started in robotics and AI, has become increasingly popular in theoretical computer science …

Consider a set of n>2 identical mobile computational entities in the plane, called robots,
operating in Look-Compute-Move cycles, without any means of direct communication. The …

We consider the well known distributed setting of computational mobile entities, called
robots, operating in the Euclidean plane in Look-Compute-Move (LCM) cycles. We …

From an engineering point of view, the problem of coordinating a set of autonomous, mobile
robots for the purpose of cooperatively performing a task has been studied extensively over …

This paper presents a solution to the problem of self-organized aggregation of embodied
robots that requires no arithmetic computation. The robots have no memory and are …

This paper is concerned with the collective behavior of a group of n>1 mobile autonomous
agents, labelled 1 through n, which can all move in the plane. Each agent is able to …
