Abstract
Some experimental research on flocking of a group of robots in a bounded plane is reported in this paper. The motivation is from many scenarios encountered in both natural systems and engineering applications that collective motions are always confined in a bounded space. Very recently, the conventional flocking formulation and algorithms have been generalized to address the issues caused by bouncing boundaries of a bounded space. In the present experiments, the theoretical design was successfully implemented in a group of real robots such that it achieved a desired rigid flock in a bounded plane.
