A swarm robotic is made up of a number of similar robots (identical) that these robots alone do not have any potential, but they can with each other have considerable potential. In recent years, engineers have become more interested in swarm robotic. Swarm robotic allows the use of several colleague robots instead of an advanced robot that eliminates excessive complexity and expensive equipment. The purpose of this study is to provide a method for solving the crossing problem and interfering between robot swarms. In previous studies conducted at the Sharif University of Technology, the main goal was to design algorithms for the swarm behavior of a swarm robotic. In this research, the aim is... 

Swarm robotics is a new approach to the coordination of large numbers of relatively simple robots. The approach takes its inspiration from the system level functioning of social insects which demonstrate three desired characteristics for multi-robot systems: robustness, flexibility and scalability. This research describes development of an autonomous miniature mobile robot for swarm robotics research and education. Several common platforms were studied and this prototype was designed. Wireless communication was selected to transmit robot’s messages. The design of this testbed aims for enhancing the sensing capability of the robotic agents, overcoming the constraints led by lack of... 

The aim of this project is decentralized control of a group of robots (swarm robots); such that the aggregation maneuver, leader following, Identification and imaging the target, will be performed so good as to make a three-dimensional model of the target from these images. Swarm robots consist of a number of similar and limited features robots which interaction in a group of robots, will lead to special features for the group. Any agent of group decides what to do only with its local information from the environment. Swarm robots are more applicable for the jobs in which a distributed perception from the environments needed, for example space exploration and military operations.In this... 

Swarm is coordinated group action that usually done with little communication among its members. Using several simple members instead of the complicated ones reduces cost, simplifies system and increases the reliability. On the other hand, the mission can be done faster. This thesis is done in two general sections; theoretical and experimental parts. At first some important missions are simulated in MATLAB/Simulink such as aggregation, dispersion, flocking, obstacle detection, obstacle collision avoidance and orbiting around the obstacle. Orbiting around the obstacle is simulated formation flying and a constellation of satellites (such as GPS systems). The methodology is artificial potential...
