Collective Robotic Search Using Particle Swarm Optimization
Kunc, Ondřej ; Pilát, Martin (advisor) ; Mráz, František (referee)
With the advancement and miniaturization of electronic devices we experience today a lot of attention is shifting to small robots capable of solving a specific problem collectively. Such problem can be a seeking of a specific target emitting a specific radiation which is detected by the robots depending on its intensity. A technique called particle swarm optimization was proven to be a very useful approach for this task. This technique uses so-called particles moving in a multidimensional space searching for an optimum. This paper deals with the application of this approach to the swarm of robots. A simulator capable of visua- lizing and collecting data was developed and described in this work and practical conclusions were drawn. Modifications and improvements of the algorithm were made to improve the search process in various environmental and robot settings. 1
