Abstract in brief

  • The study explores how the collective behaviors of biological systems can inform the shape assembly of robot swarms.
  • It introduces a mean-shift exploration strategy, where robots abandon their locations to explore and occupy the highest density of unoccupied spaces to form desired shapes.
  • Experiments with 50 robots show that this approach allows for complex shape assembly and can be adapted for tasks like shape regeneration and cooperative cargo transport.
