Abstract
This article presents a high-level configuration and task assignment software package that distributes algorithms on a swarm of robots. The software allows the robots to operate in a swarm fashion. When the swarm robotic system adopts a decentralized approach, the desired collective behaviors emerge from local decisions made by the robots themselves according to their environment. Using its GUI, the proposed system expects the operator to select between several available robot agents and assign the swarm of robots a particular task from a set of available tasks.
