Abstract

This paper investigates the problem of target localizing by a communicating robotic swarm in an unknown environment. Robots have to collaboratively search for the target while avoiding obstacles in their way. Emphasis is given on how physical constraints such as obstacles and communication links affect the swarm’s operation. Finally, simulation results of the proposed system in a small scale area are presented and evaluated and possible uses of the system are discussed.
