“…In early day, several mobile robots with big size are used [ 5 – 8 ]. Nowadays, small size of body and simple mobile robots are very popular in research and education [ 1 , 8 – 12 ]. Multimobile robot systems inspired by biological system such as ants, termites, honeybees, and fishes are defined as a swarm robot.…”

“…But in [ 9 , 15 , 16 ], they used a group of various types of mobile robots which is defined as heterogeneous swarm robotic system. Most of the research on swarm mobile robotic system is focusing on communication systems among mobile robots [ 11 , 15 , 16 ] in order to share information, focusing on developed autonomous battery recharging [ 17 – 19 ] to have fully autonomous swarm robots without human intervention, focusing on developed navigation system [ 3 ] in order to run mobile robot without loss, focusing on developed management and optimization of energy system based on adaptation from biologically swarm behaviors [ 12 , 19 , 20 ], focusing on development of physical robot (small robot or macrorobot) [ 1 , 11 , 21 ] or simulated tools for swarm robotics [ 22 – 24 ]. Mobile robot is designed to be operated with finite energy resource, which is supplied by batteries.…”

Deploying large numbers of mobile robots which can interact with each other produces swarm intelligent behavior. However, mobile robots are normally running with finite energy resource, supplied from finite battery. The limitation of energy resource required human intervention for recharging the batteries. The sharing information among the mobile robots would be one of the potentials to overcome the limitation on previously recharging system. A new approach is proposed based on integrated intelligent system inspired by foraging of honeybees applied to multimobile robot scenario. This integrated approach caters for both working and foraging stages for known/unknown power station locations. Swarm mobile robot inspired by honeybee is simulated to explore and identify the power station for battery recharging. The mobile robots will share the location information of the power station with each other. The result showed that mobile robots consume less energy and less time when they are cooperating with each other for foraging process. The optimizing of foraging behavior would result in the mobile robots spending more time to do real work.

Robotic swarms that take inspiration from nature are becoming a fascinating topic for multi-robot researchers. The aim is to control a large number of simple robots in order to solve common complex tasks. Due to the hardware complexities and cost of robot platforms, current research in swarm robotics is mostly performed by simulation software. The simulation of large numbers of these robots in robotic swarm applications is extremely complex and often inaccurate due to the poor modelling of external conditions. In this paper, we present the design of a low-cost, open-platform, autonomous micro-robot (Colias) for robotic swarm applications. Colias employs a circular platform with a diameter of 4 cm. It has a maximum speed of 35 cm/s which enables it to be used in swarm scenarios very quickly over large arenas. Long-range infrared modules with an adjustable output power allow the robot to communicate with its direct neighbours at a range of 0.5 cm to 2 m. Colias has been designed as a complete platform with supporting software development tools for robotics education and research. It has been tested in both individual and swarm scenarios, and the observed results demonstrate its feasibility for use as a micro-sized mobile robot and as a low-cost platform for robot swarm applications.
