In this paper we investigate distributed computation in dynamic networks in which the
network topology changes from round to round. We consider a worst-case model in which …

We study theoretical models of programmable matter systems, consisting of n spherical
modules kept together by magnetic or electrostatic forces and able to perform two minimal …

Groups of robots can be tasked with identifying a location in an environment where a feature
cue is past a threshold, then disseminating this information throughout the group–such as …

In this work, we study the fundamental naming and counting problems (and some variations)
in networks that are anonymous, unknown, and possibly dynamic. In counting, nodes must …

We present a decentralized and scalable approach for deployment of a robot swarm. Our
approach tackles scenarios in which the swarm must reach multiple spatially distributed …

We develop a distributed controller to position a team of aerial vehicles in a configuration
that optimizes communication-link quality, to support a team of ground vehicles performing a …

In this work, we study a discrete system of entities residing on a two-dimensional square
grid. Each entity is modelled as a node occupying a distinct cell of the grid. The set of all n …

Nanotechnologies guarantee new potential outcomes for maintaining accessibility issues in
versatile robots in an automated based Mobile Adhoc Networks (MANETs). In multi-robot …

We consider a system composed of autonomous mobile robots that communicate by
exchanging messages in a wireless ad-hoc network. In this setting, the failure of a single …

Advances in hardware, software and sensing are bringing swarms of robots to daily life. A
major challenge in enabling such applications is multi-robot coordination. Most multi-robot …
