Architecture of Swarm Robotics System Software Infrastructure

Abstract

Swarm Robotics is a modern subdomain of robotics that studies fully autonomous robots without any central control or common knowledge base. One of the most common problems is development process of such systems: at the moment there are no clear guides about designing and modeling of such systems, there are no standard of tools or software in the swarm robotics field. This work researches at swarm robotic systems from a software engineering point of view. The point of the research is how software engineering approach can solve the problem of strong coupling between hardware platforms and swarm systems through guides and instruments for fast and high-quality swarm robotic application development.
