Strategies for Energy Optimisation in a Swarm of Foraging Robots
This paper presents a simple adaptation mechanism to automatically adjust the ratio of foragers to resters (division of labour) in a swarm of foraging robots and hence maximise the net energy income to the swarm. Three adaptation rules are introduced based on local sensing and communications. Individual robots use internal cues (successful food retrieval), environmental cues (collisions with te...
متن کاملAntbots: A Feasible Visual Emulation of Pheromone Trails for Swarm Robots
In this paper we present an experimental setup to model the pheromone trail based foraging behaviour of ants using a special phosphorescent glowing paint. We have built two custom addons for the e-puck robot that allow for trail laying and following on the glowing floor, as well as a way for the robots to mimic the ants capability of using polarization patterns as a means of navigation. Using s...
متن کاملCollective Self-detection Scheme for Adaptive Error Detection in a Foraging Swarm of Robots
In this paper we present a collective detection scheme using receptor density algorithm to self-detect certain types of failure in swarm robotic systems. Key to any fault-tolerant system, is its ability to be robust to failure and have appropriate mechanisms to cope with a variety of such failures. In this work we present an error detection scheme based on T-cell signalling in which robots in a...
متن کاملStable Filtering for Artificial Pheromone Potential Field Constructed by Mobile Robots and Passive Rfid Tags
In this study, the concept of the chemical substance pheromone is utilized for the robotic tasks. This paper first illustrates the model of pheromone-based potential field. The field is constructed through the interaction between mobile robots and data carriers, such as RFID tags. The emphasis in the modeling of the system is on the possibility of the practical implementable ideas. The stabilit...
متن کاملFormation Control and Path Planning of Two Robots for Tracking a Moving Target
This paper addresses the dynamic path planning for two mobile robots in unknownenvironment with obstacle avoidance and moving target tracking. These robots must form atriangle with moving target. The algorithm is composed of two parts. The first part of thealgorithm used for formation planning of the robots and a moving target. It generates thedesired position for the robots for the next step. ...
