As an emergent research area by which swarm intelligence is applied to multi-robot systems; robotics (a very particular and peculiar sub-area of collective robotics) studies how coordinate large groups relatively simple robots through the use local rules.It focuses on studying design amount robots, their physical bodies controlling behaviors.Since its introduction in 2000, several successful experimentations had been realized, till now more projects are under investigations.This paper seeks...
Machine Learning (ML) for swarm motion prediction is a relatively unexplored area that could help sustain and monitor daily robotics collective tasks.

Aggregation is a vital behavior when performing complex tasks in most of the swarm systems, such as robotics systems. In this paper, three new aggregation methods, namely distance-angular, distance-cosine, and distance-Minkowski k-nearest neighbor (k-NN) have been introduced. These methods are mainly built on well-known metrics: cosine, angular, Minkowski distance functions, which used here to compute distances among robots' neighbors. Relying these each robot identifies its neighborhood set...

Then an artificial viscoelastic mesh among built perform aggregation. When Analyzing...
Abstract Collective decision-making by a swarm of robots is paramount importance. In particular, the problem collective perception wherein aims to achieve consensus on prevalent feature in environment. Recently, this has been formulated as discrete estimation scenario estimate their proportion rather than deciding about one. Nevertheless, performance existing strategies resolve either poor or depends higher communication bandwidth. work, we propose novel strategy based maximum likelihood...
