Swarm Robot

Background: With the curiosity of exploring the underwater world, science has devised various technologies and machines that can help them in performing activities like exploring, navigating and plunging into the unknown world of oceanography. Underwater Robot or vehicle can be claimed as an outcome of extensive research done by the scientists who aimed at discovering the unknown mysterious world of ocean and how it can benefit humanity. Swarm robotics is an entirely new section of robotics that has been developed based on swarm intelligence. Considering the fact, swarm robotics being still in nuptial stage, researchers have provided immense contribution with an aim to develop this technology. The objective of the paper is to present a comprehensive review covering the various technical and conceptual aspects of underwater swarm robotic system. Methods: A systematic review on state-of-the-art has been performed where contributions of various researchers was considered. The study emphasis on the concepts, technical background, architecture and communication medium along with its applicability in various fields that also include various issues and challenges faced while attaining them. Results: The incorporation of swarm intelligence in underwater robotics provides a new angle altogether into the working pattern of underwater robotic system. Conclusion: The article is a systematic presentation of swarm robot technologies, their mechanisms, conceived and designed communication medium with respect to adaptability of the vehicle to the versatile nature of water. The paper delineates the various conceptual and technical details and its beneficence to humanity.

Allocation Algorithms

This paper discusses the various task allocation algorithms that have been researched, analyzed, and used in swarm robotics. The main reason for switching over to swarm robotics from ordinary mobile robots is because of its ability to perform complex tasks co-operatively with other bots rather than individually. Furthermore, they can be scaled to perform any kind of tasks. To carry out tasks like foraging, surveying and other such tasks that require swarm intelligence, task allocation plays an important role. It is the crux of the entire system and plays a huge role in the success of the implementation of swarm robotics. Few algorithms that address this task allocation have been briefly discussed here.

In this chapter, the current work on swarm robotics is briefly reviewed. Swarm robotics, inspired from nature swarm, is a combination of swarm intelligence and robotic, and shows great potential in several aspects. Firstly of all, the cooperation in nature swarm and swarm intelligence is briefly introduced, and the special features of the swarm robotics compared with single robot and other multi-individual systems is also presented. Then we describe the modeling method for swarm robotics and list several widely used swarm robotics entity projects and simulation platforms for interested researchers. Finally, as the main point of this chapter, we summarize the current researches on swarm robotic algorithms, i.e., cooperative control mechanisms for swarm robotics for flocking, navigating and searching applications.
