群机器人是由多个自主的移动的机器人(称为s-bots)物理连接在一起而构建的机器人实体。这种形式的集体机器人技术利用了机器人在行为和物理层面的互动。本文的目标是分析的物理性能作为其大小的函数(组成它的s-机器人的数量n)的一个swarm-bot。我们提出了三个任务和相应的群集机器人的性能。在所有这三个任务中,我们在n的范围内表现出超线性性能,其中结构中施加的物理力适合机器人设计。这种超线性的性能范围有助于理解对于给定的任务,哪种集群机器人大小是最佳的,并为新的面向应用的集群机器人的设计提供了有趣的提示。
A swarm-bot is a robotic entity built of several autonomous mobile robots (called s-bots) physically connected together. This form of collective robotics exploits robot interactions both at the behavioral and physical levels. The goal of this paper is to analyze the physical performance of a swarm-bot as function of its size (number n of s-bots composing it). We present three tasks and the corresponding swarm-bot performances. In all three tasks we show superlinear performances in a range of n where the physical forces applied in the structure fit to the robot design. This superlinear performance range helps in understanding which swarm-bot size is optimal for a given task and gives interesting hints for the design of new application-oriented swarm-bots.
