Abstract
In prior work we established how artificial physics can be used to self-organize swarms of mobile robots into hexagonal formations. In this paper we extend the framework to moving formations, by providing additional theoretical analysis that facilitates the implementation of seven robots in a hexagonal format ion moving towards a goal.
