Swarm-robot controller, swarm-robot control method and controller terminal

Abstract

The invention discloses a swarm-robot control method. The swarm-robot control method includes acquiring information of single robot terminals; planing and navigating movement of the single robot terminals according to the information of the single robot terminals; and transmitting movement planning and navigating information to the single robot terminals and controlling the single robot terminals to cooperatively move. The invention further discloses a swarm-robot controller and a controller terminal. The swarm-robot controller comprises a coordination layer, a management layer and an execution layer. The forecast weighted layering information technology is adopted, Mesh networking is carried out via a wireless communication module, by the aid of the method, a control system of swarm robots and individual characteristics of the robots are organically combined, the single robot terminals are controlled to cooperate, accordingly, the advantage that the swarm robots interact and cooperate with each other without manual intervention is realized, work efficiency of collective cooperation of the swarm robots and accuracy and stability of operation in special environments are improved, and collective task execution time of the swarm robots is shortened.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of robots, in particular to a group robot controller, a group robot control method and a controller terminal. Background technique [0002] A swarm robot is a special multi-robot system, which consists of many undifferentiated autonomous robots and has typical characteristics of a distributed system. Swarm robots are mainly researched on individual robots with limited capabilities, which embody swarm intelligence through interaction, coordination, and control to cooperate to complete relatively complex prescribed tasks. For the same task, if it is performed by a single robot with complex structure and expensive price, it may be incompetent or inefficient. [0003] The rise of swarm robot research originated from the inspiration of biology, and it is an emerging research field after multi-robot systems in the usual sense are endowed with swarm intelligence attributes. Terms such as swarm robots and ...
