Description

Robotics has proven itself to be an important emerging technology. While several commercially-available robotics packages provide a place to begin study, none adapt well to the application of Artificial Intelligence or Swarm Robotics. Our focus is on combining and modifying existing off-the-shelf technologies to augment these kits' capabilities. Our goal is to produce a development suite that includes radio communications, an open source software development package, a mobile chassis capable of independent operation, and the capacity for intra-swarm communication. These tools should enable the production of an intelligent robot capable of coordinating its actions with others of its type. The presentation outlined the initial progress and hurdles, and further detailed the goals of the project.
