This document discusses swarm robotics and how robots communicate within a swarm. It defines swarm robotics as using small robots that communicate with each other to perform tasks. Swarms typically have a master robot that controls slave robots and guides them to complete assigned tasks. The robots communicate using transmitters and receivers that convert data between serial and parallel formats to transmit instructions and sensor readings between the master and slaves. Examples of applications for swarm robotics include industrial tasks, medical procedures, and military operations.

1. Communication between the robots

2. Definition: 'Swarm robotics’ term coins the definition
that number of small robots communicating with each
other to perform a specific task.

3. Swarm intelligence:The emergent behaviour observed
in social insects is called swarm intelligence

5. Robots using swarm intelligence

6. Basic parts of a robot:
Microcontroller
Motors
Sensors

7. Categories in swarm:
Master Slave
This controls all the other
robots in swarm.
There will be only one
master.
They are intended to guide
the slaves.
They take decision from their
own under critical
conditions.
This will be controlled by
the master robots.
There are so many slaves
present in a swarm
application.
They are intended to do
certain task given by the
master.
They can’t take own
decisions by their own.

9. How communication is possible?
For working in a swarm, the master and slave has to
communicate with each other.
For this we use transmitter and receiver.
The type of transmitter and receiver depends upon
the range of communication.
It sends the data and receives the data by the
conversion of serial data into parallel data and vice
versa respectively.
In the communication process, microcontroller plays
a key role.

10. These are very efficient.
This technique reduces the man power.
Time consumption is less.
Very accurate.
Can be used to do the tasks which are hazardous
for humans.
They are trustworthy.
Can be used in various applications.
