Design of a Swarm Search Algorithm: DustySWARM SpiralEpicycloidal Wave (SEW) Code for NASA Swarmathon

Abstract

Robots had been integrated into almost every field including industrial automation, medical and space exploration. NASA had been working hard to explore the space and discover new resources on the Moon and Mars. One of the going-on projects with NASA is to send a swarm of small robots to Mars, where these robots will explore and collect resources for analysis, this option is affordable and safer. Our team works on developing algorithms that will be implemented on these rovers, to guide them autonomously to search effectively and efficiently while avoiding obstacles and map their environment.
