Distributed 3D Source Seeking Via SO(3) Geometric Control of Robot Swarms (I)
- Jesús Bautista Villar, University of Granada
- Hector Garcia de Marina, Universidad De Granada
About the Session
This invited track brings together researchers working on the theoretical foundations and practical applications of graph rigidity, formation control, and distributed localization in multi-agent systems. The session highlights recent advances in geometric constraint systems and their role in enabling reliable coordination, estimation, and control for networked robotic and autonomous systems.
Topics represented in the session include:
- Distance, bearing, angle, and symmetry-based rigidity theory
- Distributed formation control and formation tracking
- Localization using limited sensing and communication
- Geometric and sensitivity-based methods for multi-agent coordination
- Applications involving robot swarms, mobile agents, and networked autonomous systems
