摘要:

在分布式系统领域,任意图案形成(Arbitrary Pattern Formation,APF)问题是一个被广泛研究的问题。APF 的目标是设计一种算法,将一群机器人移动到环境(离散或连续)中的特定位置,使机器人群能够形成一个特定但任意的图案,该图案事先作为输入提供给每个机器人。本文讨论了在半同步调度器下,由无记忆、静默且不具备手性的机器人组成的集群在连续圆上求解 APF 问题的可解性。首先,文中给出了一类称为 Formable Configuration(FC,可形成配置)的配置,它是在连续圆上求解 APF 问题所必需的。随后,在初始配置为 FC 的条件下,提出了一种确定性分布式算法,该算法可在 O(n) 个 epoch 内无碰撞地解决固定半径连续圆上 n 个机器人的 APF 问题。

英文摘要:

In the field of distributed system, Arbitrary Pattern Formation (APF) problem is an extensively studied problem. The purpose of APF is to design an algorithm to move a swarm of robots to a particular position on an environment (discrete or continuous) such that the swarm can form a specific but arbitrary pattern given previously to every robot as an input. In this paper the solvability of the APF problem on a continuous circle has been discussed for a swarm of oblivious and silent robots without chirality under a semi synchronous scheduler. Firstly a class of configurations called \textit{Formable Configuration}($FC$) has been provided which is necessary to solve the APF problem on a continuous circle. Then considering the initial configuration to be an $FC$, an deterministic and distributed algorithm has been provided that solves the APF problem for $n$ robots on a continuous circle of fixed radius within $O(n)$ epochs without collision.
