Task Allocation via Self-Organizing Swarm Coalitions in Distributed Mobile Sensor Network
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a task allocation scheme via selforganizing swarm coalitions for distributed mobile sensor network coverage. Our approach uses the concepts of ant behavior to self-regulate the regional distributions of sensors in proportion to that of the moving targets to be tracked in a non-stationary environment. As a result, the adverse effects of task interference between robots are minimized and sensor network coverage is improved. Quantitative comparisons with other tracking strategies such as static sensor placement, potential fields, and auction-based negotiation show that our approach can provide better coverage and greater flexibility to respond to environmental changes.

Design and Implementation of Heterogeneous Robot Swarm
In this paper we described the hardware architecture of an inexpensive, heterogeneous, mobile robot swarm, designed and developed at RISC lab, University of Bridgeport. Each UB robot swarm is equipped with sensors, actuators, control and communication units, power supply, and interconnection mechanism. Robot swarms have become a new research paradigm in the last ten years offering novel approac...
متن کاملPurposeful Deployment via Self-Organizing Flocking Coalition in Sensor Networks
This paper presents a deployment strategy via self organizing flocking coalitions for mobile sensor network coverage. The concepts of our approach are inspired by the flocking phenomenon which locally controls a group of mobile agents performed as follows: (i) global alignment of their velocity vectors, (ii) convergence of their velocities to a common one, and (iii) collision avoidance. Adding ...

متن کاملDistributed task negotiation in self-reconfigurable robots
A self-reconfigurable robot can be viewed as a network of many autonomous modules. Driven by their local information, the modules can initiate tasks that may conflict with each other at the global level. How the modules negotiate and select a coherent task among many competing tasks is thus a critical problem for the control of self-reconfigurable robots. This paper presents a distributed algor...
