The contribution is twofold. We first show the validity of the conjecture of Défago and Konagaya in [DK02], i.e., there exists no deterministic oblivious algorithm solving the Uniform Transformation Problem for any number of robots * . Next, a protocol which solves deterministically the Circle Formation Problem in finite time for any number n of weak robots-n / ∈ {4, 6, 8}-is proposed. The robots are assumed to be uniform, anonymous, oblivious, and they share no kind of coordinate system nor common sense of direction.
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.
