Abstract

This paper presents a distributed algorithm for assembling a swarm of autonomous mobile robots on a common boundary of a given polygonal region in presence of opaque horizontal line obstacles. Robots and obstacles are initially scattered in an unknown environment and they do not have direct communication among themselves. The algorithm guarantees successful assembling of all the robots on the left boundary of the given region within finite amount of time and without facing any collision during their movement. The intermediate distances among the assembled robots are not fixed. In this proposed algorithm, the robots follow the basic Wait-Observe-Compute-Move model together with the Full-Compass and Synchronous/Semi-synchronous timing models.
