SwarmMesh: A Distributed Data Structure for Cooperative Multi-Robot Applications

Nathalie Majcherczyk,Carlo Pinciroli,Nathalie Majcherczyk,Carlo Pinciroli

We present an approach to the distributed storage of data across a swarm of mobile robots that forms a shared global memory. We assume that external storage infrastructure is absent, and that each robot is capable of devoting a quota of memory and bandwidth to distributed storage. Our approach is motivated by the insight that in many applications data is collected at the periphery of a swarm topol...
