Robots that sync and swarm: A proof of concept in ROS 2
The swarmalator model for systems in which synchronization and swarming are coupled is implemented and studied for the first time in a technical system.

Synchronization algorithms based on the theory of pulse-coupled oscillators are evaluated on programmable radios. It is experimentally demonstrated that the stochastic nature of coupling is a key ingredient for convergence to synchrony. We propose a distributed algorithm for automatic phase rate equalization and show that synchronization precisions below one microsecond are possible.
