Abstract :
In a swarm robot system, the complex collective behavior arises out of local interactions among many simple robots and between the robot and environment. The proposed macroscopic state model is used to study the dynamics of swarm robot systems, which is composed of coupled time-delay differential equations describing the macroscopic state transitions of swarm robot system. The approach is illustrated by applying it to study the collective clustering task of a swarm robot system.
