| Summary: | In this paper, the authors analyse the structure of robot swarms. Drive, communication, and artificial intelligence technologies have reached a level where the inspiration of the animal world has become very useful for the development of systems of which people have dreamed for centuries. A short introduction describes the need for and expectations of autonomous robots and vehicles. A classification of swarm structures is based on animals such as bees or ants. Two main types of swarms are recognized: structural (master–slaves) and non-structural. The operator controls both of them remotely. The swarm structure has a great influence on the structure of single robots. A computer model with an object programming definition was worked out, and a simulation of the presented swarm structure is provided. The results are described in the paper. |
