Swarm Robotics: Theoretical View on Task Allocation Material Handling Approach

Abstract

Nowadays, industrial world is becoming fully or semi-automatic. So, many organizations implement automation to increase production rate and reduce lead time. Bigger organizations can easily implement conveyor belt system for material handling system but small or lower level organizations can’t afford that automation due to economic break even. A special man is allotted for material handing purpose and it is tedious and time consuming task. The solution is Swarm Robotic (SR) system for material handling purpose which can complete small individual tasks to achieve global organization goal. So an attempt is made here to propose a Swarm Robotic (SR) system for material handling. In the proposed SR system 3 robots are used, one of them is foraging robot and remaining are worker robots. This material handling SR system is working with ant inspired strategy.
