We consider the Mutual Visibility problem for anonymous dimensionlessrobotswith obstructed visibility moving in a plane: starting from distinct locations, the robots must reach, without colliding, a configuration where no three of them are collinear. We study this problem in theluminous robotsmodel, in which each robot has a visible light that can assume colors from a fixed set.Among other results, we prove that Mutual Visibility can be solved in SSynch with 2 colors and in ASynch with 3 colors. If an adversary can interrupt and stop a robot moving to its computed destination, Mutual Visibility is still solvable in SSynch with 3 colors and, if the robots agree on the direction of one axis, also in ASynch.As a byproduct, we provide the first obstructed-visibility solutions to two classical problems for oblivious robots:collision-less convergence to a point(also known asnear-gathering) andcircle formation.
