Swarm robotics is an innovative approach to the control and coordination of a large number of multi-agent systems that use naturally inspired swarm intelligent methods to perform a task through emergent behaviors. A swarm based approach can decrease the complexity and the cost of designing a cooperative multi-robot system. This paper proposes a general engineering approach to develop a robotic ...

Robotic swarm behavior is usually demonstrated using groups of robots, in which each robot in the swarm must possess full mobile capabilities, including the ability to control both forward and reverse motion as well as directional steering. Such requirements place severe constraints on the cost and size of the individual robots (swarmers), limiting the number of units and constraining the overa...

Swarm robotic systems can offer many advantages including robustness, flexibility and scalability. However one of the issues relating to overall swarm performance that needs to be considered is hardware variations inherent in the implementation of individual swarm robots. This variation can bring behavioral diversity within the swarm, resulting in uncontrollable swarm behaviors, low efficiency,...

Many applications of swarm robotics require autonomous navigation in unknown environments. We describe a new collective navigation strategy based on diffusion limited aggregation and bacterial foraging behaviour. Both methods are suitable for typical swarm robots as they require only minimal sensory and control capabilities. We demonstrate the usefulness of the strategy with a swarm that is cap...

Representation of a swarm of independent robotic agents under graph-theoretic constructs allows for more formal analysis of convergence properties. We consider the local and global convergence behavior of an N -member swarm of agents in a modified consensus problem wherein the connectivity of agents is governed by probabilistic functions. The addition of a random walk control ensures Lyapunov s...

This technical brief summarizes and extends our recently introduced control framework for stochastically allocating a swarm of robots among boundaries of circular regions. As in the previous work, a macroscopic model of the swarm population dynamics is used to synthesize robot control policies that establish and maintain stable predictable team sizes around region boundaries. However, this exte...

Searching an area of interest based on environmental cues is a challenging benchmark task for an autonomous robot. It gets even harder to achieve if the goal is to aggregate a whole swarm of robots at such a target site after exhaustive exploration of the whole environment. When searching gas leakages or heat sources, swarm robotic approaches have been evaluated in recent years, which were, in ...

Swarm behavior suggests simple methodologies used by agents of swarm to solve complex problems, which using the other optimsation algorithms such as Genetic Algorithms may not be possible to solve. The basic reason behind this is the group behavior in these algorithms. The distributed control mechanism and simple interactive rules can manage the swarm efficiently and effectively. Flocking behav...

The swarm metaphor stands for dynamic, complex interaction networks with the possibility of emergent phenomena. In this work, we present two games that challenge the video player with the task to indirectly guide a complex swarm system. First, the player takes control of one swarm individual to herd the remainder of the flock. Second, the player changes the interaction parameters that determine...
