In time-critical situations such as rescue missions, effective exploration is essential. Exploration of such unknown environments may be achieved through the dispersion of a swarm of robots. Recent research has turned to biology where pheromone trails provide a form of collective memory of visited areas. Rather than the attractive pheromones that have been the focus of much research, this paper considers...
The use of swarm robotics in search tasks is an active area of research. A variety of algorithms have been developed that effectively direct robots toward a desired target by leveraging their collaborative sensing capabilities. Unfortunately, these algorithms often neglect the task of communicating possible task solutions outside of the swarm. Many scenarios require a monitoring station that must...
Real-time navigation and mapping of an autonomous robot is one of the major challenges in intelligent robot systems. In this paper, a novel sensor-based biologically inspired neural network algorithm to real-time collision-free navigation and mapping of an autonomous mobile robot in a completely unknown environment is proposed. A local map composed of square grids is built up through the proposed...
