  • Abstract
    We explore and implement a distributed strategy for symmetric formation control using coupled harmonic oscillators. The purpose of this control strategy is for distributed groups of mobile robots to move in a synchronized manner. We present both simulation and experimental results. Based on the results of both simulation and experimentation this strategy is an effective method for synchronizing the motions of multiple mobile robots.
