Swarming Robots and Possible Medical Applications

Abstract

In this paper, after introducing a Swarm Intelligence algorithm -Stochastic Diffusion Search (SDS) -the performance of a set of autonomous robots is observed.The goal of the autonomous robots is to agree on a task and, despite the inevitable existence of "organic" noise in the system, accomplish the mission through communication.Dispatching micro-robots inside a human body, the bed of another manifestation of "organic" noise, is an extremely delicate, complicated and expensive process.This work presents the possibility of using swarming robots using SDS in adhering to the great significance of resource allocation and communication in such circumstances.The potential of using SDS algorithm in identifying metastasis from bone scans is also explored.
