In this paper we present a distributed algorithm, which enables to follow and surround moving objects by a swarm of homogenous robots that only use local sensing. We introduce the multi orbit surrounding problem and present a solution for it. We prove that our solution always guarantees that the robots enclose the target and circulate around them. We also evaluate our solution by simulations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
