Case Study: Adaptive Aggregation

Abstract

We try the impossible and summarize almost all we have learned about in this book.In this little case study we try to integrate all different techniques that one requires to design a system of swarm robots. The task is rather simple and we focus on adaptive aggregation, that is, the swarm has to aggregate at a particular spot determined by environmental features. We follow a biological role model and apply standard modeling techniques of swarm robotics. Finally, the control algorithm and the micro-macro model are verified against robot experiments.
