Swarm Intelligence for Collective Robotic Search

Abstract

This chapter presents three strategies for the navigation of a swarm of robots for a target search application in a hazardous environment. the strategies explored include greedy search and two computational intelligence techniques-particle swarm optimization and fuzzy logic. Results for the collective search are presented for simulated environments containing single and multiple targets, with and without obstacles. the proposed navigation strategies can be further developed and applied to real-world applications such as aiding in disaster recovery, detection of hazardous materials, and many other high-risk tasks. © 2009 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
