In this paper we study motion coordination problems for groups of robots that exchange information through a rate-constrained communication network. For one-dimensional rendezvous and deployment problems with communication path graphs, we propose an integrated control and communication scheme combining a logarithmic coder/decoder with linear coordination algorithms. We show that the closed-loop performance is comparable to that achievable in the quantization-free model: the time complexity is, asymptotically on the size of the network, unchanged, and the exponential convergence factor degrades smoothly as the quantization accuracy becomes coarser.
