Congestion control algorithms for robotic swarms with a common target

Our work “Congestion control algorithms for robotic swarms with a common target based on the throughput of the target area” is already available on-line in the journal Robotics and Autonomous Systems. It presents novel algorithms for handling hard congestion situations when thousands of robots move towards a common target. This work is inspired by our previous theoretical work, but it is now focused on presenting algorithms for real robots.
