Designing a multi-robot cooperation model using swarm intelligence
A multi-robot cooperation model enables some robots to work collectively to achieve a specific purpose. Having multi-robot cooperation is challenging. Several aspects should be considered in order to get an optimized implementation. The objective, hardware, pricing, and algorithm can have an impact on your multi-robot design.
In this section, we will review some key aspects of designing multi-robot cooperation. This is important since developing a robot needs multi-disciplinary skills.
Defining objectives
The first step to developing multi-robot swarm intelligence is to define the objectives. We should state clearly what the goal of the multi-robot implementation is. For instance, we can develop a multi-robot system for soccer games or to find and fight fire.
After defining the objectives, we can continue to gather all the material to achieve them: robot platform, sensors, and algorithms are components that we should have.
