Navigation of multiple mobile robots using swarm intelligence

Abstract

This research investigates the application of swarm intelligence principles for the co-operative behavior of autonomous collective robots. Using swarm intelligence technique robots are able to get their optimized path during navigation. A successful way of structuring the navigation task deals with the issue of co-operative behavior among multiple mobile robots. Using Ant Colony Optimization, robot path planning in two-dimension environment is studied. In this paper the current study introduces the intelligent finding optimum mechanism of ant colony. The theory has been tested both in simulation and experimental modes.
