Roboticists, biologists, and chemists are now producing large populations of simple robots, but controlling large populations of robots with limited capabilities is difficult, due to communication and onboard-computation constraints.
We investigate control of mobile robots that move in a 2D workspace, focusing on a model that uses broadcast control inputs specified in the global reference frame. (see video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5p_XIad5-Cw )
