Furthermore, each robot employs the same local strategy, i.e., there are no leaders, and the text also deals with decentralized control, allowing for cases in which no single robot can sense all the others. One can get intuition for the problem from the natural world, for example, flocking birds. How do they achieve and maintain their flying formation? Recognizing their importance as the most basic coordination tasks for mobile robot networks, the brief details flocking and rendezvous. They are shown to be physical illustrations of emergent behaviors with global consensus arising from local interactions. The authors extend the consideration of these fundamental ideas to describe their operation in flying robots and prompt readers to pursue further research in the field.  Flocking and Rendezvous in Distributed Robotics will provide graduate students a firm grounding in the subject, while also offering an authoritative reference work for more experienced workers seeking a brief but thorough treatment of an area that has rapidly gained in interest. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Control, Automation and Robotics,$x2192-6786 606 $aRobotics 606 $aAutomation 606 $aControl engineering 606 $aSystem theory 606 $aRobotics and Automation$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T19020 606 $aControl and Systems Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T19010 606 $aSystems Theory, Control$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M13070 615 0$aRobotics. 615 0$aAutomation. 615 0$aControl engineering. 615 0$aSystem theory. 615 14$aRobotics and Automation. 615 24$aControl and Systems Theory. 615 24$aSystems Theory, Control. 676 $a629.892 700 $aFrancis$b Bruce A$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0289629 702 $aMaggiore$b Manfredi$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254206103321 996 $aFlocking and Rendezvous in Distributed Robotics$92532691 997 $aUNINA
