As a counterpoint to classical stochastic particle methods for linear diffusion equations, such
as Langevin dynamics for the Fokker-Planck equation, we develop a deterministic particle …

Biologically inspired strategies have long been adapted to swarm robotic systems, including
biased random walks, reaction to chemotactic cues and long-range coordination. In this …

Lévy robotic systems combine superdiffusive random movement with emergent collective
behavior from local communication and alignment in order to find rare targets or track …

In this work we establish a simple yet effective strategy, based on intermittent diffusion, for
enabling a group of robots to accomplish complex tasks, shape formation and assembly. We …

This paper presents a method for task-oriented path planning and collision avoidance for a
group of heterogeneous holonomic mobile sensors. It is a generalization of the authors' prior …

In the field of swarm robotics, the design and implementation of spatial density control laws
has received much attention, with less emphasis being placed on performance evaluation …
