Robot Swarming over the internet

Abstract-- This paper considers cooperative control of robots involving two different testbed systems in remote locations with communication on the internet. This provides us the capability to exchange robots status like positions, velocities and directions needed for the swarming algorithm. The results show that all robots properly follow some leader defined one of the testbeds. Measurement of data exchange rates show no loss of packets, and average transfer delays stay within tolerance limits for practical applications. I. INTRODUCTION The efficient co-operation between multiple agents situated at distinct locations while pursuing common While the topic raises fundamental questions related to a variety of fields such as communication systems and distributed co-operative control, it is of immense practical of California Los Angeles (UCLA) Applied Mathematics interest as well.
