Autonomous Distributed Systems of Myopic Mobile Robots with Lights

The cooperation of swarming autonomous mobile robots has received significant interests in recent years. The common goal of research on it is to clarify the minimum capabilities for robots to achieve a given task. Thus, algorithms for mobile robots have been considered on a theoretical model with negative assumptions about each robot capabilities[4, 6]. Concerning the assumptions, each robot is identical (i.e., all robots run the same algorithm), anonymous (i.e., each robot has no IDs to distinguish two robots), oblivious (i.e., each robot has no memory to record past situation) and silent (i.e., each robot has no direct means of communication).
