Swarm robotics problem tackled with new algorithms for circle formation

Researchers have introduced a new approach to the Min-Max Uniform Circle Formation (MMUCF) problem, focusing on minimizing the maximum distance traveled by individual robots. This problem is crucial for swarm robotics applications like perimeter monitoring and pattern formation. The study proposes deterministic, distributed, and collision-free algorithms designed for the ASYNC model, ensuring robots achieve distinct and equally spaced positions on a target circle. AI

    Min-Max Uniform Circle Formation by Asynchronous Mobile Robots

    Given a set of point robots $\mathcal{R}$ in the Euclidean plane and a target circle $\mathbf C$ enclosing all robot positions, the \textsc{Min-Max Uniform Circle Formation (MMUCF)} problem requires the robots to move to distinct positions on $\mathbf C$ such that the final confi…
