Stability Investigation of a Robotic Swarm with Limited Field of View

چکیده
This paper presents an analytical study of swarm motion in a quasi static environment, in which, motion of each member is being affected by interactive forces and agents. Interactive effects on each member could be attractive or repulsive due to being far from or close to other members respectively. An agent also can be attractive or repulsive. The method is based on Lyapunov analysis. The aim is to preserve the unity of swarm i.e. not losing any member through motion, while being under influence of an agent. It is also considered that field of view of swarm members is limited; which is the most important characteristic of this work.

A New Solution for the Cyclic Multiple-Part Type Three-Machine Robotic Cell Problem based on the Particle Swarm Meta-heuristic
In this paper, we develop a new mathematical model for a cyclic multiple-part type threemachine robotic cell problem. In this robotic cell a robot is used for material handling. The objective is finding a part sequence to minimize the cycle time (i.e.; maximize the throughput) with assumption of known robot movement. The developed model is based on Petri nets and provides a new method to calcul...
متن کاملInvestigation of the Spatial Resolution and Field of View with Change of Magnification in VRX CT
Introduction: Variable resolution x-ray (VRX) CT is a new type of CT that can image objects at various spatial resolutions. In a VRX CT scanner, the spatial resolution increases at the cost of reduction in the field of view (FOV). An important factor that limits the spatial resolution of the VRX CT is the effect of focal spot size. Also, the optimum magnification is different at each incident a...
متن کاملDevelopment of Collective Control Architectures for Small Quadruped Robots Based on Human Swarming Behavior
We introduce a method of designing behaviors for swarms of micro-robots based on observation of human beings executing various tasks collectively. As a case study, we have focused on the development of decentralized control strategies specifically applicable to swarms of the Mini-Whegs quadruped robot. The design process consists of carefully mapping hardware requirements for the robotic platfo...
متن کاملDynamics of Macro–Nano Mechanical Systems; Fixed Interfacial Multiscale Method
The continuum based approaches don’t provide the correct physics in atomic scales. On the other hand, the molecular based approaches are limited by the length and simulated process time. As an attractive alternative, this paper proposes the Fixed Interfacial Multiscale Method (FIMM) for computationally and mathematically efficient modeling of solid structures. The approach is applicable to mult...
متن کاملMinimalistic Approach Towards Underwater Swarm Robotic Development
Underwater systems are modern and challenging area of modern robotics. Underwater exploration is also crucial for investigating bio-marine species, monitoring pollution, and developing disaster warning system. The most significant part of the underwater exploration activities are sensing and measuring. In a dynamic environment, it is not sufficient to scan an area or volume with a single sensor...
