Abstract :
Mobile robots are getting special attention now-a-days in everyday use. Especially cleaning robot applications are at hand today and tend to become a mass market, for example Roomba introduced in 2002 by IRobot has gain considerable popularity in consumer home market. Here, in this paper, we try to implement collaborative robots which will reduce time to cover area. The covering algorithm used here can be useful for doing operations in farms, open grounds. A feasible solution has been proposed and simulations results for a swarm of mobile robots are also presented that uses coverage and positioning algorithms.
