Algorithm Theory Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that explores the coordination of robot swarms through the theory of distributed algorithms.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring, through theory, how robot swarms coordinate
The Algorithm Theory Lab studies the theory of distributed algorithms, particularly 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)."
Bachelor's theses from the lab have dealt with problems such as merging, gathering, and sorting of robot swarms.
Key terms
- Distributed algorithm
- A procedure by which multiple robots or computers, each acting on its own decisions, solve a single problem as a whole
- Swarm of autonomous mobile robots
- A group of mobile robots, each of which decides and moves on its own
- Self-stabilization
- The property that a system, whatever state it ends up in along the way, eventually settles into a correct state
ResearchResearch themes
This lab studies the theory of distributed algorithms. In particular, it works on distributed coordination of swarms of autonomous mobile robots and on fault-tolerant distributed algorithms.
