چکیده
This paper revisits the widely researched gathering problem for two robots without any agreement on coordinate system in a scenario which allows randomization asynchronous scheduling model. The scheduler is considered to be adversary determines activation schedule of robots. comes three flavors, namely, adaptive offline, online, and oblivious, based knowledge outcome random bits. follow wait-look-compute-move cycle. In this paper, we classify problems capability control parameters such as wait time, computation delay speed check feasibility terms adversarial capabilities. First, show impossibility under an offline with non-negative time delay. Gradually relaxing capabilities, present finite choices improbability infinite online adversary. Under oblivious adversary, establish possibility zero We improve runtime algorithm by restricting choose that sum more than positive constant. Finally, also extend our multiple merging.

Gathering Asynchronous Mobile Robots with Inaccurate Compasses
This paper considers a system of asynchronous autonomous mobile robots that can move freely in a two dimensional plane with no agreement on a common coordinate system. Startingfrom any initial configuration, the robots are required to eventually gather at a single point, notfixed in advance (gathering problem). Prior work has shown that gathering oblivious (i.e., stateless) robots cannot be ac...
متن کاملUnreliable Compasses for Robust Gathering of Asynchronous Mobile Robots
Reaching agreement among a set of mobile robots so that they behave as a coherent system is one of the most fundamental issues in distributed robotic systems. This problem is often illustrated by the gathering problem, where the robots must self-organize to eventually meet at some arbitrary location. That problem has the advantage that, while being very simple to express, it retains the inheren...
متن کاملGathering Asynchronous Oblivious Mobile Robots in a Ring
We consider the problem of gathering identical, memoryless, mobile robots in one node of an anonymous unoriented ring. Robots start from different nodes of the ring. They operate in Look-Compute-Move cycles and have to end up in the same node. In one cycle, a robot takes a snapshot of the current configuration (Look), makes a decision to stay idle or to move to one of its adjacent nodes (Comput...
متن کاملGathering Autonomous Mobile Robots
We study the problem of coordinating a set of autonomous mobile robots that can freely move in a two-dimensional plane; in particular, we want them to gather at a point not fixed in advance (GATHERING PROBLEM). We introduce a model of weak robots (decentralized, asynchronous, no common knowledge, no identities, no central coordination, no direct communication, oblivious) which can observe the s...
متن کاملGathering of asynchronous robots with limited visibility
In this paper we study the problem of gathering in the same location of the plane a collection of identical oblivious mobile robots. Previous investigations have focused mostly on the unlimited visibility setting, where each robot can always see all the other ones, regardless of their distance. In the more difficult and realistic setting where the robots have limited visibility, the existing al...
