  • Abstract
    Most of robotic systems introduce an isotropic neighbor area, such as a circle, for robot communication and interaction because it reflects a natural property of some physical sensors and devices. On the other hand, it has reported that starling birds in nature employ anisotropic neighbor, for example an ellipse, for neighbor observation. In this paper, we introduce the anisotropic neighbor to a robotic swarm system, and we investigate how it affects to the connectivity and stability of the system.
