Distributed and Decentralized Control and Task Allocation for Flexible Swarms
Yigal Koifman, Ariel Barel, Alfred M. Bruckstein
This paper introduces a novel bio-mimetic approach for distributed control of robotic swarms, inspired by the collective behaviors of swarms in nature such as schools of fish and f…
Exploration of unknown indoor regions by a swarm of energy-constrained drones
Ori Rappel, Joseph Z. Ben-Asher, Alfred M. Bruckstein
Several distributed algorithms are presented for the exploration of unknown indoor regions by a swarm of flying, energy constrained agents. The agents, which are identical, autonom…
Spiral Sweeping Search for Smart Evaders
Roee M. Francos, Alfred M. Bruckstein
Consider a given planar circular region, in which there is an unknown number of smart mobile evaders. We wish to detect evaders using a line formation of sweeping agents whose tota…
Guaranteed Evader Detection in Multi-Agent Search Tasks using Pincer Trajectories
Roee M. Francos, Alfred M. Bruckstein
Assume that inside an initial planar area there are smart mobile evaders attempting to avoid detection by a team of sweeping searching agents. All sweepers detect evaders with fan-…
Multi-Agent Distributed and Decentralized Geometric Task Allocation
Michael Amir, Yigal Koifman, Yakov Bloch +2
We consider the general problem of geometric task allocation, wherein a large, decentralised swarm of simple mobile agents must detect the locations of tasks in the plane and posit…
Defense Against Smart Invaders with Swarms of Sweeping Agents
Roee M. Francos, Alfred M. Bruckstein
The goal of this research is to devise guaranteed defense policies that allow to protect a given region from the entrance of smart mobile invaders by detecting them using a team of…
