Swarm robotics is an approach to the coordination of large numbers of robots. The main motivation of this thesis is to study a robotic system designed to do flocking both indoors and outdoors. A walking robot is designed parallel to this purpose. In the first part of thesis, a leg is designed to minimize the displacement of center of mass of robot in vertical axis to eliminate mechanical noise. Mechanism analysis and Matlab optimization tools are utilized in this process. Then, electronic components of robot are determined and mechanical design of robot, which is applicable to leg designed in previous stage and selected electronics, is done as first prototype in Solidworks platform. The controller of robot is written in Arduino platform. Parts are produced by using Ultimaker 2+ 3D printer and assembled afterwards. Assembled robot is run to test its obstacle avoidance and light detection skills.In the second part of thesis, the first prototype is improved and a smaller robot is designed mainly to decrease its production time. An encoder embedded motor is utilized in second prototype to implement different gaits. In second prototype, robot reaches to a size and mobility for flocking.

Control and motion planning for mobile robots via a secure wireless communication protocol
Kaya, Muhammed Çağrı; Eroğlu, Alperen; Temizer, Selim (null; 2013-05-21)
Mobile robot control is receiving considerably more attention in current robotics research. Especially unmanned vehicles are used in important missions such as bomb disposal, patrolling borders of a country by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), etc. This usage increases the importance of unmanned vehicles and they become a target of malevolent people. In this study, a controllable robot system is designed with a secure communication protocol. A Pioneer P3-DX robot is used as a ground vehicle. The robot operat...
DEVELOPMENT OF AN EXTENSIBLE HETEROGENEOUS SWARM ROBOT PLATFORM
Bilaloğlu, Cem; Turgut, Ali Emre; Şahin, Erol; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2022-1-13)
This thesis introduces Kobot -- an extensible heterogeneous swarm robot platform. Kobot platform uses a common hardware and software architecture based on off-the-shelf components, 3-D printing, and open-source software that evolves with state of the art. Robots built using this common architecture range from wheeled to flying robots and formed a heterogeneous swarm. The common architecture enabled developing and testing systems for the lightweight flying robots on resourceful ground robots. As a result, Ko...
Swarm robotics: From sources of inspiration to domains of application
Şahin, Erol (2005-01-01)
Swarm robotics is a novel approach to the coordination of large numbers of relatively simple robots which takes its inspiration from social insects. This paper proposes a definition to this newly emerging approach by 1) describing the desirable properties of swarm robotic systems, as observed in the system-level functioning of social insects, 2) proposing a definition for the term swarm robotics, and putting forward a set of criteria that can be used to distinguish swarm robotics research from other multi-r...

Design of a Micro Piezo Actuated Gripper for a Swarm Robotic System
Kaygusuz, Batuhan; Turgut, Ali Emre (2016-07-31)
In this paper, we introduced a novel micro swarm robotic platform, called the AttaBot, designed specifically for complex systems and swarm robotics research. The novelty of the AttaBot platform is two-folds. (1) Artificial pheromones are implemented, (2) Each AttaBot has a gripper to grip small discs on the ground. In this way, AttaBot platform can be used in many different swarm scenarios including foraging, collective motion and collective transport. We introduced the design of the AttaBot, focusing mainl...
