Abstract
The goal of this project is to demonstrate swarm robotics technologies to assist in manufacturing large structures made from flexible materials. Manufacturing such structures requires manipulation of large, heavy pieces of fabric-like materials. In this project, we will demonstrate how multiple, self-aware, mobile robotic agents can work as a team to assist operators in manufacturing large structures made from heavy, flexible materials.
