Achieving Consensus in Robot Swarms

Part of the book series: Studies in Computational Intelligence ((SCI,volume 706))

Abstract

We conclude by summarizing the primary principles of discrete consensus achievement in robot swarms as introduced in this book. We review the motivations of our work and highlight the scientific contributions provided in each chapter. Finally, we provide the reader with the take-home message of this book and discuss possible venues for future developments.
