Abstract

A new 2D geometric local interaction rule is developed for decentralised deployment of robot swarms. The objective is to configure a swarm of robots into a lattice of equilateral triangles by local interactions. The local interaction rule configures three robots, from a random initial configuration, into an equilateral triangle whilst minimising the movement distance between configurations.
