Abstract: This paper summarizes our physicomimetics framework for robot control. A theoretical analysis of potential energy is then provided, allowing us to properly set system parameters a priori. Finally, results of a multi-robot implementation are presented. II. RELATION TO ALTERNATIVE APPROACHES System analysis enables both system design and behavioral assurance. Here, we adopt a physicsbased approach to analysis. We consider this approach to fit under the category of "formal methods, " not in the... (Update)
