Class description

Multi-Robot Systems: Theory and Implementation This course will cover key topics in multi-robot systems: distributed algorithms, ad-hoc networking, and coordinated motion. The topics will be introduced through a series of labs using 12-robot mini-swarms. The main emphasis of the course will be on distributed algorithm design. An algorithm course is a prerequisite, and students will need programming experience to complete the labs.
