Abstract:
This paper studies the requirements of a successful vision-based approach in swarm robotic settings. Required fea- tures such as landmarks and different patterns are introduced, and appropriate feature detection algorithms are described in detail. The features are designed to be very simple, and providing enough information, while the proposed detection algorithms have considered the very limited resources (i.e., limited storage memory, and limited computational power) of swarm robots. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed vision approaches and the defined features for the environment, the whole approach is verified by implementation on e-puck robots in a real-world setting.
