Breaking up is hard to do - Dispersion: from design to implementation

This article assesses the performance of a virtual pheromone-based sectored dispersion algorithm which is implemented on a low-cost miniature mobile robotic platform using sonar sensing. The approach is a distributed one and the robotic platform and sensor array are sufficiently inexpensive that the...

Description
Summary:This article assesses the performance of a virtual pheromone-based sectored dispersion algorithm which is implemented on a low-cost miniature mobile robotic platform using sonar sensing. The approach is a distributed one and the robotic platform and sensor array are sufficiently inexpensive that they can be employed in undergraduate research and/or for coursework in a small college environment
