On Motion Coordination of Robots with Volume.

Abstract

In the study of cooperative behavior of distributed autonomous robots, certain problems including convergence to a single point and formation of the given geometric figures have been discussed under a simplifying assumption that a robot is represented as a point that has no volume (1). In this paper, we represent each robot as a disc with some volume, rather than a point, and develop and evaluate two algorithms for moving many robots through a narrow gate. Though each robot is a disc, we assume that a robot does not block the view of other robots.
