1. ELEN 227 Winter 2008 Collective Robot Behaviour Project Description The objective of this project was to design a control algorithm for multiple robots which were required to collaborate to achieve a single task (e.g. light source search) in an unknown environment. The algorithm was tested using a 2D Khepera simulator, then downloaded to the real robots using the serial link. The algorithm was also implemented in a 3D simulator package called “Webots”. Compared to the Khepera simulator, which relies on infrared sensors for navigation, Webots offers infrared and vision sensors.
