Wirelessly Controlled Robotic Swarm.

Abstract

The focus of this paper is to create a team of four robots that have a common goal and a central unit – an Android app – coordinating them. Each of the robots has a wide range of sensors at its disposal, like a gyroscope, an accelerometer, encoders or a range sensor that help the robots orientate in the terrain in which they are operating. An Android app was created for controlling the robots. The application also displays maps which the robots create, and plot the graphs from their data.
