An undergraduate research platform for cooperative control and swarm robotics

Distributed Velocity Controllers of the Individuals of Emerging Swarm Clusters

“…The principle of swarming (see, for example, [4], [5], [15], [16], [20], [14]) is increasingly used to solve this problem because swarming induces selforganization and emergent patterns which allow members of the swarm to work or move about cooperatively and cohesively [21], [22], [23]. There are many opportunities for integrating the swarming principles into the industry as swarm formations frequently play an influential role in several disciplines such as robotics, computer science, surveillance, military, economics, biology, and industrial automation [24], [9], [10], [14]. Some applications or possible applications of the swarming principle are: the possible use of swarm robots for carrying out deep mining operations in hazardous environments [25], the use of swarm unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in the monitoring of; air pollution caused by the gases released due to industries [26], large farms for precision agriculture [27], and exclusive economic zone (EEZ) [19], and using swarms of robots for cooperative transportation and geological surveys [28].…”

A smart distance power electronic measurement using smartphone applications

“…Some of these technologies are present in mobile devices such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Infrared. Different types of communication technologies were integrated with the smart monitoring of measurements and control devices [1]- [7]. In addition, many types of control systems based on Arduino are presented in [4], [5], [8]- [14].…”
