Abstract:Abstract-We consider the problem of organizing a scattered group of n robots in two-dimensional space, with geometric maximum distance D between robots. The communication graph of the swarm is connected, but there is no central authority for organizing it. We want to arrange them into a sorted and equally-spaced array between the robots with lowest and highest label, while maintaining a connected communication network.In this paper, we describe a distributed method to accomplish these goals, without using cent… Show more
