Leader-Follower Algorithm

After doing research about the Leader-Follower algorithm I feel like I have a general understanding of the subject. Leader-Follower Algorithm is based on the fact that there is only on robot leader in the swarm at any point of time. Each robot has a preceding and a following robot. The robot has two states stooped or moving. There is one leader and the rest of the robots are followers. The leader robot is in a moving state. Once the leader robot gets in the stooped state, it is not the leader anymore; another moving robot becomes the leader. The area where the robots are moving in is to be represented as a grid of cells. Each cell represented by (x,y). A particular robot position is represented by the cell it is in at that particular time. The robots can distinguish between the cell that have been already been visited by its leading robot.
