SWARM ROBOT
Project Area of Specialization RoboticsProject SummarySwarm robot is multi robotic field in which multiple robots are in self-organization and in decentralization way. This robot is based on some sense of biological inspiration In this large number of robots can perform complex tasks in more efficient way than a single robot.
Swarm Robot is an artificial intelligence technology which uses Master/ Slave concepts to operate multiple robots with one instruction.the master has a circuitry that consists of an integrated IR sensing circuit controller by a microcontroller circuit.The slave robot consists of a microcontroller circuit integrated with similar motorized robotic body as the master. While performing its operation the controller also transmits the commands to the slave robots using RF communication.Thus, we successfully achieve a master slave communication through the use of swarm robotics concepts.
This is the technology which can solve those problems that one person can’t solve itself. With the help of swarm robot, a single person can perform the tasks in more efficient way.If we look at large scale applications like industries, it works as pick and drop service and provide good efficiency. Only one person can perform its desired tasks through this the swarm robot. It is impossible to complete a task by a single person or it becomes quite difficult for that person to complete the work in such cases there is need of a team or group of members that can collaboratively work and make the work of the person or the user easy.
Project Objectives- To develop a robot which will perform the task of pick and place through its manipulator.
- To develop a control through which instructions could be feed in the system for continuous work of the robots.
- The robot is either controlled by master control robot or can be able to take its own simple self decision automatically.
- To develop synchronous operation of the robot(s) to perform a similar task by the concept of Master and slave robots.
In this type of project we will use 3 robots, One is used as a master (transmitter) and other two are used as a slave robots (reciever) .We will give the instruction to master to master robot and master robot transmit its signal to the slave robots .These two slave robots will recieve the signal that is transmitted by the master robot to complete the task.In this robot the hardware tools are :-
3x Robot Body, DC Motors, Arduino, RF Transmitter, RF Receiver, Resistors, Capacitors, Diodes, LED’s ,Coil Antennas ,Servo Motors, Gripper.
By using of all the above tools this project will behave the weight of less than 500g for pick and place. swarm robot can be applied to the sophisticated problems involving large amount of time, space or target, and a certain danger may exist in the inviroment.swarm robot have some specific functions such as sensing, communicating, motioning etc.
Benefits of the ProjectThe swarm can complete the tasks that a complex individual can do while having high robustness and flexibility and low cost. Swarm intelligence takes the full advantage of the swarm without the need of centralized control and global model, and provides a great solution for large-scale sophisticated problems.
The main advantages of swarm robot are: -
High reliabiliablity.
Less time consumption.
They can perform tasks that one expensive robot cannot.
Technical Details of Final DeliverableThe main circuitry of this project is controller thruogh which we will give the instruction and controller will send the information to all the devices which are connected with each other.
if we look at transmitting side there is dc supply voltages these voltages are than transfered to diode.if the diode is in forward bias then these voltages will be transferred to controller and the controoler is conected to motor driver, IR sensor, RF transmitter module, encoder and antena.
if we look at recieving side there is a supply voltages, these voltages are then transfered to regulator thruogh which we regulate the voltages according to the requirement after that these voltages transferd to motor driver controller and transmitter module.
