Behavior-based formation control for multirobot teams
TLDR
New reactive behaviors that implement formations in multirobot teams are presented and evaluated and demonstrate the value of various types of formations in autonomous, human-led and communications-restricted applications, and their appropriateness in different types of task environments.

Motor Schema — Based Mobile Robot Navigation
  • R. Arkin
  • Computer Science
    Int. J. Robotics Res.
  • 1 August 1989
TLDR
A variant of the potential field method is used to produce the appropriate velocity and steering commands for the robot and demonstrates the feasibility of this approach.

Communication in reactive multiagent robotic systems
TLDR
The importance of communication in robotic societies is investigated through experiments on both simulated and real robots, finding that in cases where communication helps, the lowest level of communication is almost as effective as the more complex type.

Motor schema based navigation for a mobile robot: An approach to programming by behavior
  • R. Arkin
  • Computer Science
    Proceedings. IEEE International Conference on…
  • 1 March 1987
TLDR
Motor schemas are proposed as a basic unit of behavior specification for the navigation of a mobile robot and a variant of the potential field method is used to produce the appropriate velocity and steering commands for the robot.
