Findings

Applicable to micro- and molecular-robotic systems

Addresses limitations in sensing and communication

Provides a scalable coordination framework

Abstract

Micro- and molecular-robotic systems act as large-scale swarms. Capabilities of sensing, communication and information processing are very limited on these scales. This short position paper describes a swarm-based minimalistic approach, which can be applied for coordinating collective behavior in such systems.
