A Space- and Time-Continuous Model of Self-Organizing Robot Swarms for Design Support
2007
First International Conference on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems (SASO 2007)
In this work, we present the derivation of an analytical, time-, and space-continuous model for a swarm of autonomous robots based on the Fokker-Planck equation. ...
The currently common use of simulations for design support is not satisfying, as it is time-consuming and the results are most likely suboptimal. ...

The design and control of swarm robotics systems generally relies on either a fully self-organizing approach or a completely centralized one. ...
We investigate a hybrid approach to the control of robot swarms in which a part of the swarm acts as a control entity, estimating global information, to influence the remaining robots in the swarm and ...
