Design and Implementation of Swam Robotics using Flood Fill Algorithm

Abstract

<p>Swam Intelligence provides a basis with which it is possible to explore collective (or distributed) problem solving without centralized control or the provision of a global model. This paper presents design and implementation of swam robotics in a multi-agent environment. At the beginning, robot agents are ignorant of the maze. The robots are programmed with Flood fill algorithm to solve maze. The robot scans maze and stores the values in EEPROM. The robot agent shares the information to other robot agents through wireless communication. The proposed flood fill algorithm is found to be effective tool for solving maze of moderate size.</p>
