We define and discuss a class of multi-robot systems possessing ergodic dynamics and show that they are realizable on physical hardware and useful for a variety of tasks while being amenable to analysis. We describe robot controllers synthesized to possess these dynamics and also physics-based methodologies that allow macroscopic structures to be uncovered and exploited for task execution in systems with large numbers of robots. © 2005 Springer.
