SPRINGERBRIEFS IN ELECTRICAL AND COMPUTER ENGIN...

This brief describes the coordinated control of groups of robots using only sensory input - and
no direct external commands. Furthermore  each robot employs the same local strategy  i.e. 
there are no leaders  and the text also deals with decentralized control  allowing for cases in
which no single robot can sense all the others. One can get intuition for the problem from the
natural world  for example  flocking birds. How do they achieve and maintain their flying
formation?Recognizing their importance as the most basic coordination tasks for mobile robot
networks  the brief details flocking and rendezvous. They are shown to be physical
illustrations of emergent behaviors with global consensus arising from local interactions. The
authors extend the consideration of these fundamental ideas to describe their operation in
flying robots and prompt readers to pursue further research in the field. Flocking and
Rendezvous in Distributed Robotics will provide graduate students a firm grounding in the
subject  while also offering an authoritative reference work for more experienced workers
seeking a brief but thorough treatment of an area that has rapidly gained in interest.
