Hierarchies define the scalability of robot swarms
Vivek Shankar Varadharajan, Karthik Soma, Sepand Dyanatkar +2
The emerging behaviors of swarms have fascinated scientists and gathered significant interest in the field of robotics. Traditionally, swarms are viewed as egalitarian, with robots…
A Complete Set of Connectivity-aware Local Topology Manipulation Operations for Robot Swarms
Koresh Khateri, Karthik Soma, Mahdi Pourgholi +3
The topology of a robotic swarm affects the convergence speed of consensus and the mobility of the robots. In this paper, we prove the existence of a complete set of local topology…
Collective transport via sequential caging
Vivek Shankar Vardharajan, Karthik Soma, Giovanni Beltrame
We propose a decentralized algorithm to collaboratively transport arbitrarily shaped objects using a swarm of robots. Our approach starts with a task allocation phase that sequenti…
