This research project by Obed Medina, Shlomi Hacohen, and Nir Shvalb is a robotic swarm of more than 6 agents that assumes the task of moving a load through a cluttered space. This forces the swarm to carefully manipulate the orientation of the load, while transporting it to its destination point. They model this scenario as a 6-PPSS (Prismatic-Prismatic-Spherical-Spherical) redundant mobile platform, having six degrees of freedom.
