Description & Coverage
Description:

Studies on robotics applications have grown substantially in recent years, with swarm robotics being a relatively new area of research. Inspired by studies in swarm intelligence and robotics, swarm robotics facilitates interactions between robots as well as their interactions with the environment.

The Handbook of Research on Design, Control, and Modeling of Swarm Robotics is a collection of the most important research achievements in swarm robotics thus far, covering the growing areas of design, control, and modeling of swarm robotics. This handbook serves as an essential resource for researchers, engineers, graduates, and senior undergraduates with interests in swarm robotics and its applications.

Coverage:

The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Cooperative Movement and Control
  • Cooperative Operation and Partner Recruitment
  • Human-Swarm Interaction
  • Moving Target Searching and Tracking
  • Path Planning
  • Space Deployment and Formation Control
  • Stationary Target Searching
  • Stochastic Modeling
Reviews & Statements

After surveying the current work being done in swarm robotics, the collection presents recent research results on cooperative movement and control, space deployment and formation control, path planning, target searching, stochastic modeling, cooperative operation and partner recruitment, and human-swarm interaction. The 27 contributions explore secure communication in swarm robotics, simulation of human nature and crowd behavior, shape control of swarm robots, distributed algorithms, autonomous driving, chemical plume tracking, cooperative scalar field mapping, underwater swarm robotics, and cockroach-inspired shelter seeking for holonomic swarms of flying robots.

– ProtoView Reviews

Swarm robotics is an active and complex research area of great importance for many applications. The large group of researchers featured in this volume reflects the vibrancy of the field.
