This paper presents a novel methodology that allows a swarm of robots to perform a cooperative transportation task. Our approach consists of modeling the swarm as a Gibbs Random Field (GRF), taking advantage of this framework’s locality properties. By setting appropriate potential functions, robots can dynamically navigate, form groups, and perform co- operative transportation in a completely dece...
