[11] 8. This paper presents an operating concept for radio interferometers called the swarm telescope concept based on its resemblance to the idea of swarm intelligence, taking the example of LWA stations and also explains the specific case of ngVLA about the advantages [reduced operations costs for the array, improved responsiveness to targets of opportunity, etc] it has been using this concept.…”

Swarm robots are simple physical robots that work collectively, coordinating and communicating amongst each other resulting in intelligence and computational power far more than the capacity of a single robot amongst them; to do complex, big, time-consuming, and sophisticated tasks. These are simple, strong, robust, less prone to damage, inexpensive, easily producible, and fast; therefore, they are perfect for astronomical uses, especially in outer space and on celestial objects. The main basic focus of our paper is the applications of swarm robotics in Astronomy, specifically in space. To cover all the applications and not leave anything behind, we have developed a hierarchical system, named by us as Pingakshak’s system, and have divided the applications in groups such that even if there are applications beyond our present time's technology, the system, can still be useful, and the system developed is also flexible, i.e., more groups and applications can be added later. We then also have reviewed eleven research papers, two theses, and one book to give an idea about the amount of research that is being carried out in this field. We then have identified all the grey areas in the result section, pointing towards all the applications with very little and incomplete research and informing other researchers about the incompleteness in the field of swarm robotics.

“…Thus, some people put forward laser sensors to solve the trajectory's difficulties and inconveniences. Cochrane et al [3] proposed to use lidar to increase the elasticity of robot movement. In general, lidar is also used for robot positioning, laser positioning system for fast and mobile robot position and guidance.…”

Since the rapid growth of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (or Industry 4.0), robots have been widely used in many applications. In the catering industry, robots are used to replace people to do routine jobs. Because meal is an important part of the catering industry, we aim to design and develop a robot to deliver meals for saving cost and improving a restaurant's performance in this paper. However, for the existing meal delivery system, the guests must make their meals by themselves. To let the food delivery system become more user-friendly, we integrate an automatic guided vehicle (AGV) and a robotic arm to deliver a meal and put it on a table efficiently. The system consists of four phases. In the first stage, since most food feeding environments are indoors, we must build a map of an environment for a robot and use a laser sensor to construct a surrounding object's real science. The second stage is global planning. The map is used for indoor navigation by computing the shortest path from the starting point to the map's end point. The third phase is regional planning for obstacle avoidance, immediate avoidance, and re-planning of obstacles on the path. The last stage is how to control a robot arm to grab and put a meal on a table. We use an icon as the hint of the height of a table and operate the arm rotation angle according to this icon's position. Our system provides the concept of an AGV combined with a robotic arm and provides a service for the food delivery system. In this way, waiters do not spend time dealing with meals and guests can automatically obtain their meals. The result shows that the proposed system will be helpful for the robot industry and the catering industry.
