Abstract :
This paper reports collective behaviors and formation organization of multi-robot system with simple dynamics and interactions. We firstly show the model that is composed of the fundamental kinetics and the dynamics of the heading which each robot has as a degree of freedom. Next, we modify the model mainly focusing on the anisotropy of the interaction force, and discuss the characteristic of linear formation which is obtained by the modified model. Performance of the model is examined by both computer simulation and robot experiments.
