Abstract:
A low-cost demonstration and verification system is developed and established in laboratory condition to demonstrate and verify the self-organizing control strategy of an intelligent swarm. The system consists of an arena, multiple mobile individuals, the cooperative identification logo and the identification unit, and the control and information allocating unit. The cooperative identification and the identification unit provides the accurate identification and the high-precision position and direction data of the multiple mobile individuals. The control and information allocating unit simulates the rules of the information exchanging and control among the individuals of an intelligent swarm. Finally, the mobile self-organized detecting swarm is taken as a demonstration case, and the self-organizing control strategy based on artificial potential field is demonstrated and verified in the system. The demonstration results show that the proposed system can demonstrate and verify the operation process of an intelligent swarm in laboratory condition, and the demonstration can provide the actual performance of an intelligent swarm.
