Abstract

One important task in cooperative robotics is the self–organization of robotic chain formations in unknown environments. Surveillance and reconnaissance in sewers, ducts, tunnels, caves or narrow passageways, in general, are some of the applications for this type of formation. In Hettiarachchi et al. (2008) we provided simulation results for a novel chain formation algorithm that addresses this task. This paper presents the results of the chain formation algorithm implementation on five robots.
