Coverage control and rendezvous control of robot swarm using RSSI

Toru Murayama · The Proceedings of JSME annual Conference on Robotics and Mechatronics (Robomec) · 2017

In this paper, we propose a randomized control method for robot swarm system to cover by communication areas while keeping wireless communication. The robot is assumed that it equips only a non-directional wireless antenna as external sensor. Therefore each the robot can't get their relative positions in order to decide their direction. We employ a randomized control strategy to overcome the problem, and effects of our method are shown in a computer simulation by comparison with a random walk coverage.
