In swarm robotics multiple robots collectively solve problems by forming advantageous
structures and behaviors similar to the ones observed in natural systems, such as swarms of …

Multi-robot systems gain considerable attention due to lower cost, better robustness, and
higher scalability as compared with single-robot systems. Cooperative object transport, as a …

Automatic cruise control of a platoon of multiple connected vehicles in an automated
highway system has drawn significant attention of the control practitioners over the past two …

Cooperative control of multirobot systems (MRSs) has earned significant research interest
over the past two decades due to its potential applications in multidisciplinary engineering …

Optimal path planning avoiding obstacles is among the most attractive applications of
mobile robots (MRs) in both research and education. In this paper, an optimal collision-free …

This paper addresses a bearing-only formation tracking problem in robotic networks by
considering exogenous disturbances and actuator faults. In contrast to traditional position …

Inspired by the group activities of natural swarms (eg, a flock of birds, a colony of ants, etc.),
a fleet of mobile robots can be collaboratively put into work to accomplish complex real …

This paper proposes a consensus-based formation tracking scheme for multi-robot systems
utilizing the Negative Imaginary (NI) theory. The proposed scheme applies to a class of …

This paper presents an updated and broad review of swarm robotics research papers
regarding software, hardware, simulators and applications. The evolution from its concept to …

Living systems at all scales aggregate in large numbers for a variety of functions including
mating, predation, and survival. The majority of such systems consist of unconnected …
