Article Description

Some of the significant factors that are associated with the development of a robotic swarm are discussed. The hardware needs to be easily assembled, adaptable, easily reproduced, and cost-effective, to develop better quality and effective robotic swarm. Motors, mounts, wheels, chassis materials, and appropriate sensors need to be selected for developing a robotic swarm. An operational communication protocol needs to be selected, while the software used in the robotic swarm needs to be concise and common to to each robot in the swarm, to meet the requirements of the desired function. Cleveland University provided funding for various undergraduate research projects, including one project that involved engineering students in the development of a robotic swarm.
