Towards Cooperative Localization in Robotic Swarms
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cooperative localization allows groups of robots to improve their overall localization by sharing position estimates within the team. In spite of being a well studied problem, very few works deal with the increased complexity when a large number of robots is used, as is the case in robotic swarms. In this paper, we present a characterization and analysis of the cooperative localization problem for robotic swarms. We use a decentralized cooperative mechanism in which robots take turns as dynamic landmarks providing information to their teammates. We perform several simulations and analyze the influence of these dynamic landmarks in the localization. More specifically, we study the impact of the number of robots in the localization and how the choice of landmarks affects the results.

Towards temporal verification of swarm robotic systems
A robot swarm is a collection of simple robots designed to work together to carry out some task. Such swarms rely on: the simplicity of the individual robots; the fault tolerance inherent in having a large population of identical robots; and the self-organised behaviour of the swarm as a whole. Although robot swarms present an attractive solution to demanding real-world applications, designing ...
متن کاملEffect of Leader Placement on Robotic Swarm Control
Human control of a robotic swarm entails selecting a few influential leaders who can steer the collective efficiently and robustly. However, a clear measure of influence with respect to leader position is not adequately studied. Studies with animal systems have shown that leaders who exert strong couplings may be located in front, where they provide energy benefits, or in the middle, where they...
متن کاملTowards Autonomous Micro UAV Swarms
Micro Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) such as quadrocopters have gained great popularity over the last years, both as a research platform and in various application fields. However, some complex application scenarios call for the formation of swarms consisting of multiple drones. In this paper a platform for the creation of such swarms is presented. It is based on commercially available quadroc...
متن کاملBearing-only Cooperative Localization - Simulation and Experimental Results
In cooperative localization a group of robots exchange relative position measurements from their exteroceptive sensors and their motion information from interoceptive sensors to collectively estimate their position and heading. For the localization errors to be bounded, it is required that the system be observable, independent of the estimation technique being used. In this paper, we develop a ...
متن کاملANTISWARM: A Swarm to Challenge the Task of the Swarms
In swarm robotics same task is assigned to all robots and there was no any central authority to monitor and control. We propose here a group of robots with a co-operative environment. These cooperative robots will be utilized to perform some pre defined task which is discussed in this paper. While cooperating with other robots, the robot should have some kind of mechanism to analyze the work as...
