Decentralized group control of autonomous robots swarm without data routing

Abstract

To solve a wide class of practical problems in engineering practice, groups of robots with varying network topology are used; these groups are controlled by decentralized algorithms. The emphasis is on decentralizing computing in group, but at the communications protocol layer, the network remains centralized using data routing. This article discusses the task of group control, in which there is no traditional data packets routing. The procedure of simulation modeling and the hardware stand that implements it are described.
