Abstract :
This paper proposes a strategy to find optimal path to an object through multi agent system called swarm robots, inspired by biological swarm. The system is based on Master Slave concept where master robot guides the slave robots to choose most prominent optimal path to the object. Wireless Communication is the principal concept for collaboration among swarm robots. In this paper, Atmega8 microcontroller is used for intelligence among robots. LED-LDR and Ultrasonic sensors are used for environment sensing. Wireless module WIR-1186 provides wireless communication. The system works on the phenomena of light that always travels in a straight line, it helps to find out the optimal shortest path for goal hunting.
