  • Abstract
    This paper describes a novel autonomous decentralized control algorithm based on the reaction-diffusion equation. Here we apply the algorithm to the group movement control of multiple mobile robots in which a group of mobile robots surround a fugitive robot. To confirm the proposed control algorithm, we carried out extensive simulations as well as experiments for the PIC16F84-based mobile robots.
