Experimental results for the color segregation multi-robot task implemented on real and simulated Kilobots using P colonies and Finite State Machines

Listed in Teesside University Research Data Repository

Description

In this record we present an example use of a symbolic robot control model designed to control a swarm of real and simulated robots (in a distributed manner) using the free and open-source Lulu P colony simulator (github.com/andrei91ro/lulu_pcol_sim). The robots used in this experiment are Kilobots. This color segregation example considers a group of leader and follower robots and three posible target states: RED, GREEN, BLUE.

The leaders always emit a single type of message (color) and color themselves using a single color. The followers receive messages and if the received color corresponds to their current color (or they are in the initial state), the followers hold their position, keep the RGB LED set to that color and emit the corresponding message. If the followers receive two different types of messages, they will move at random, until they receive messages from of a single type.

The second control model, that is included here for comparison purposes, uses the concept of State-full Event-driven Finite State Machine (FSM) and the structure of this model is presented in 'fsm_diagram.png''. Details regarding the functioning of the P colony simulator (Lulu) and of the associated robot controller (Lulu_kilobot) can be found in: A. G. Florea, C. Buiu.
