Abstract

Recently there have been a number of efforts to study issues related to coordination and control algorithms for systems of multiple autonomous mobile robots (also known as robot swarms) from the viewpoint of distributed computing. This paper reviews the literature in the area and discusses some open problems and future research directions.
