Group robot system based on infrared simulation artificial pheromone

Abstract

The invention discloses a group robot system based on an infrared simulation artificial pheromone. The system comprises a light-transmitting substrate, a plurality of group robots and a plurality of infrared transceiving repeaters, wherein the group robots can move on a glass substrate, each group robot is provided with an infrared transceiver, and each infrared transceiver comprises two symmetrical infrared receivers and a plurality of infrared transmitters arranged according to a plurality of directions; each infrared transceiving repeater comprises a conical outer shell, a conical inner shell, an infrared receiver and an infrared transmitter, wherein the conical inner shell is coaxially fixed in the conical outer shell, the infrared transmitter is arranged between the conical outer shell and the conical inner shell, the inner surface of the conical outer shell is an infrared reflecting surface; and the group robots utilize the infrared transceivers to communicate with one another and the infrared transceiving repeaters, and utilize an ant colony algorithm based on the virtual pheromone to move on the light-transmitting substrate. The local communication of the group robots of the invention is stable, the overall control is simple and convenient, excessive manual intervention is not needed, and the anti-interference capability is high.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of robots and relates to a group robot technology, in particular to a group robot system based on infrared ray simulating artificial pheromone. Background technique [0002] With the development of science and technology, the swarm robot technology is changing with each passing day. Because the swarm robot system can establish contact between swarm robots, work together, and complete specific tasks, it has been widely studied by major university research institutes. In order to increase the number of individuals in the swarm robot system, it is necessary for the robot itself to adopt distributed control, thereby reducing the amount of control. [0003] In order for group robots to adopt distributed control, robots need to have a certain ability to perceive each other, and there must be "no difference" between robots, so as to achieve the purpose of increasing the upper limit of the number of robots. At present, most ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

At present, most of the existing swarm robot systems use visible light as the communication medium, and the amount of data transmitted is very limited. At the same time, display communication is used as auxiliary and data collection, and most of them cannot get rid of centralized control. Such swarm robot systems are often limited in number

And the complexity of the system is high

In addition, the current group robots have their own different ID numbers from one individual to another, so it is very cumbersome to burn programs for each robot, which greatly affects the debugging efficiency and use effect, and will increase a certain amount of labor costs.
