While reading about the subject I found some very interesting articles about swarm robotics:
· The Cooperation of Swarm-Bots: Physical Interactions in Collective Robotics, BY FRANCESCO MONDADA, LUCA MARIA GAMBARDELLA, DARIO FLOREANO, STEFANO NOLFI, JEAN-LOUIS DENEUBOURG, AND MARCO DORIGO.
· A Review of Studies in Swarm Robotics, BY Levent BAYINDIR and Erol S¸AH˙IN.
· Distributed Online Evolution for Swarm Robotics, by Suranga Hettiarachchi.
· Swarm Robotics: A Different Approach to Service Robotics, BY Giovanni C. Pettinaro, Ivo W. Kwee, Luca M. Gambardella, Francesco Mondada, Dario Floreano. Stefano Nolfi, Jean-Louis Deneubourg, and Marco Dorigo.
· Swarm Robotics: From Sources of Inspiration to Domains of Application, BY Erol Sahin.
*Specific clarification and summery of the above articles will be provided in following posts.
Research about swarm robotics reveled many different interesting projects that are concerned with creating small robots that can work as a unit in which it provides them the ability to do many different useful tasks such as helping in catastrophic situations. A great website to visit if you are interested in more information www.swarmrobot.org
There are some interesting videos related to swarm robotics:
· Presentation on a swarm robotics project taking under consideration both the hardware and the software aspects of the project, its long but it is very interesting.
· Shape-shifting robot forms from magnetic swarm http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e44hA6IBtkA
· Robots with a mind of their own http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkvpEfAPXn4
Swarm Robotics future goal is to create a community of robots that can sustain themselves. Build their own hardware, software, and even fix each other when damaged.
