We present a survey on the application of fluid approximations, in the form of mean-field models, to the design of control strategies in swarm robotics. Mean-field models that consist …
This paper proposes a novel game-theoretical autonomous decision-making framework to address a task allocation problem for a swarm of multiple agents. We consider cooperation …
We present a distributed control algorithm simultaneously solving both the stochastic target assignment and optimal motion control for large-scale swarms to achieve complex formation …

This paper introduces a probabilistic guidance approach for the coordination of swarms of autonomous agents. The main idea is to drive the swarm to a prescribed density distribution …
Probabilistic swarm guidance enables autonomous agents to generate their individual trajectories independently so that the entire swarm converges to the desired distribution …

This paper presents a Markov chain based approach for the probabilistic density control of a large number, swarm, of autonomous agents. The proposed approach specifies the time …
The goal of this paper is to provide a survey and application-focused atlas of collective behavior coordination algorithms for multi-agent systems. We survey the general family of …
