Abstract:We consider evacuation from a finite two-dimensional (2D) square grid field by a metamorphic robotic system (MRS). An MRS is composed of anonymous memoryless modules. Each module of an MRS executes an identical distributed algorithm and moves autonomously while keeping the connectivity of modules. Since the modules are memoryless, an MRS utilizes its shape to remember the progress of execution. The number of available shapes that an MRS can form depends on the number of modules, which is thus an important comp… Show more
