Abstract :
The coordination of intelligent behavior among the swarm of autonomous agents and the contrivance of interrelations between the collections are the sine qua non of the multiagent systems (MAS). The metamorphic robotic systems are a new and rather perspective sphere of robotics because of the different and useful applications. These self-reconfiguring robotic systems could be described as MAS. The metamorphic robots could be considered as a collection of identical modules and each unit has the ability to connect, disconnect, climb over its near neighbors or to move independently. The leading scope of this issue is the implementation of intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFS) in MAS for synthesis of useful technique for optimization. The technique is applied in the strategy for investigation of unknown environment with swarm of Khepera robots.
