Course Description

Recent years have seen a great increase in the volume of research conducted into multi-robot systems. This course covers the state-of-the-art in control and synthesis techniques for multi-robot systems. Starting initially from motivations and definitions, students will study several important coordination methods and the ideas that have inspired them. The course balances study of fielded systems and applications with analysis of algorithms and formalisms. Students will use physical robots to design, implement and demonstrate multi-robot controllers.
