Abstract:
In this paper, we investigate the collective behavior of a robot swarm that emerges in constructing walls for isolation purposes. Collective construction is one of the highly required behaviors for the future applications at which robotics systems are planned to be deployed. The construction task is performed using a swarm of homogenous robots. We, furthermore, present a probabilistic approach that allows us to design an adaptive construction behavior. Our results are verified using physics-based simulations.
