Abstract

A technique for controlling a robotic swarm in an area ( 502 ) comprising a plurality of radio units ( 504, 506 ) for providing radio access to the robotic swarm is described. The robotic swarm comprises a plurality of swarm members ( 200; 1600; 1791; 1792; 1830 ). As to a method aspect of the technique, a vector field map ( 510 ) is determined ( 302 ). The vector field map ( 510 ) comprises velocity vectors indicative of a speed and a direction for navigating the swarm members ( 200; 1600; 1791; 1792; 1830 ) through the area ( 502 ). A deflection field ( 512 ) is determined ( 304 ). The deflection field ( 512 ) is indicative of a deflection for deflecting the swarm members ( 200; 1600; 1791; 1792; 1830 ) relative to the vector field map ( 510 ). The vector field map ( 510 ) and the deflection field ( 512 ) are transmitted ( 306 ) through the radio units ( 504, 506 ) to at least one of the swarm members ( 200; 1600; 1791; 1792; 1830 ) for controlling the motion of the at least one of the swarm members ( 200; 1600; 1791; 1792; 1830 ) in the area ( 502 ).
