AboutAbout the lab
Exploring robot swarm coordination through algorithm theory
The Algorithm Theory Lab studies the theory of distributed algorithms, in particular distributed coordination of swarms of autonomous mobile robots and fault-tolerant distributed algorithms.
On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Theoretical Computer Science Group (Yamauchi Lab)."
Students' bachelor's and master's theses include titles dealing with gathering, search, and merging of robot swarms.
Key terms
- Distributed algorithm
- A procedure in which many computers or robots solve a task, each acting on its own decisions, without any entity managing the whole system centrally
- Autonomous mobile robot swarm
- A group of many robots that observe their surroundings, make their own decisions, and move around
- Fault tolerance
- The property of a system continuing to solve its task as a whole even when some parts fail
ResearchResearch themes
The lab investigates, from the theory of algorithms, how large numbers of autonomously moving robots can cooperate to solve tasks. Its research centers on distributed coordination of robot swarms and fault-tolerant distributed algorithms.
