Swarm robotics is a new approach to the coordination of multi-robot systems which consist of large numbers of simple physical robots. Swarm Robotics is a technological advancement in Mobile Robotics. The main focus of this workshop is to introduce to the students various methods of communication that can be used to transfer data between multiple machines.
This approach emerged on the field of artificial swarm intelligence, as well as the biological studies of insects, ants and other fields in nature, where swarm behaviour occurs. The swarm behaviour involves constant change of individuals in cooperation with others, as well as the behaviour of the whole group. A key-component is the communication between the members of the group that build a system of constant feedback. The model of distributed computing — using many computers to work on a single large task — is somewhat similar. Unlike distributed computing, however, each individual in swarm robotics deals with unique stimuli.
Potential applications for swarm robotics include tasks that demand for miniaturization (nanorobotics, microbotics), like distributed sensing tasks in micro machinery or the human body. On the other hand swarm robotics can be suited to tasks that demand cheap designs, for instance mining tasks or agricultural foraging tasks.
What we deal in the workshop are:
Artificial intelligence
Short and long range wireless communication
Sensor network
Mechanical structure analysis and design
Making a line follower robot and grid solving robot
Communicating a robot with a PC, through radio frequency
Implementation of swarm intelligence
Students can participate as a team of three and each team will be provided with a takeaway robo kit. The students will have to pay a registration fee of Rs 1400 per head. We will be providing an advanced Swarm Robotics Kit for each team and you can take away the kit after workshop.
Duration:
The workshop is for 2 consecutive days, 28th and 29th of January, 2011.
Accommodation:
Accommodation is available for ladies and gents in hostels run by catholic nuns and priests on prior re quest.
