Real-World Intelligent Systems and Control Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that studied how to guide swarm robots to a destination, much as a dog guides sheep.
AboutAbout the lab
Guiding swarm robots with a simple method.
The Real-World Intelligent Systems and Control Lab studied swarm navigation, focusing on autonomous decentralized systems and swarm robot systems.
Taking a hint from a dog guiding a flock of sheep (a sheepdog system), it devised a method to guide a swarm to its destination.
The proposed method was verified through simulation.
Key terms
- Swarm robots
- A group of many robots that interact with one another in an autonomous, decentralized way. The behavior of the whole swarm emerges from the interactions between individual robots.
- Autonomous decentralized systems
- A mechanism in which the whole system is not controlled centrally, but is driven by interactions among the individual units.
- Sheepdog system
- A mechanism in which a dog guides a flock of sheep. It served as a hint for methods of guiding a swarm.
ResearchResearch themes
This lab studied a method for navigating swarm robots to a destination that is as simple and as broadly applicable as possible. It presented a controller that does not depend on the number of robots or their onboard devices, and verified its effectiveness in simulation.
