An Overview on Collective Coordination of Multiple Robots

In this talk I will give a brief overview of some fundamentals about the collective (and decentralized) coordination of multiple robots, with an emphasis on the main motivations, assumptions, mathematical tools, as well as the theoretical and practical difficulties one faces when devising multi-robot coordination schemes. Some videos of multi-robot experiments, with quadrotor UAVs employed as robotic platform, will also be shown with the aim of illustrating the key concepts.
