The gathering problem for two oblivious robots with unreliable compasses

T Izumi, S Souissi, Y Katayama, N Inuzuka… - SIAM Journal on …, 2012 - SIAM
Anonymous mobile robots are often classified into synchronous, semi-synchronous, and
asynchronous robots when discussing the pattern formation problem. For semi-synchronous …

Asynchronous arbitrary pattern formation: the effects of a rigorous approach

S Cicerone, G Di Stefano, A Navarra - Distributed Computing, 2019 - Springer
Given any multiset F of points in the Euclidean plane and a set R of robots such that| R|=| F||
R|=| F|, the Arbitrary Pattern Formation (APF) problem asks for a distributed algorithm that …
