Cooperative Search and Rescue with Swarm of Robots Using Binary Dragonfly Algoritlnn

Abstract

This paper presents development and evaluation of an intelligent algorithm for swarm mobile robots cooperation. This algorithm can be shared between collections of robots to cooperate in order to achieve search and rescue tasks. A binary dragonfly algorithm has been modified by considering two more behaviors; obstacle avoidance and communication constrains. The implemented algorithm has been tested to check its performance in reaching the best solution and to reach an optimal solution within relatively shorter time. The performance of the robotic dragonfly algorithm has been compared with other search and rescue algorithms and the obtained results demonstrate its features in cooperation to reach a single objective.
