Novel Algorithms for Coordination of Underwater Swarm Robotics

摘要

Swarm robotics is a new paradigm of robotics being developed recently based on swarm intelligence. Though the implementation of swarm robotics is still in early stage, great deals of researches in this field have been done. This paper proposes novel algorithms for coordination of underwater swarm micro-robots to realize aggregation, formation and flocking. The relative numeric simulations have proved the effectiveness of these algorithms.
