Abstract

Applications of underwater and space exploration robots and those operating in hazardous environments can benefit from the use of multi-robot system. In challenging applications like these, multi-robot systems can deal with wide range of tasks, cope with environmental changes including the loss of robots, faster, and often relatively cheaper. The main aim of the project reported in this paper is to build autonomous marine robots (AquaBots), to deploy these AquaBots in group to form a swarm and assign them the task of searching the surrounding area for any oil spillage. In the prototypes, that spillage is simulated using target material. Finally optimize the number of robots in a swarm based on the time estimates to achieve this goal.
