How can robots form shapes without GPS?
Concurrent-Learning Based Relative Localization in Shape Formation of Robot Swarms
October 10, 2024
https://arxiv.org/pdf/2410.06052- This paper proposes a novel method for large-scale robot swarm formation control relying solely on local sensing and communication, eliminating the need for external localization systems like GPS.
- A key element relevant to LLM-based multi-agent systems is the use of a "concurrent-learning based estimator", which incorporates both current and historical data to estimate relative positions between agents. This approach allows for smoother movement and removes the need for artificial persistent excitation signals, which are commonly used in traditional estimators but negatively impact performance in large-scale systems.
