HOARD Robotics
Project Overview
Horde of Autonomous Robotic Devices
Block Diagram
PCB Layouts Chassis Design
•Horde of Autonomous Robotic Devices is a team of robots that utilize swarm behavior to accomplish tasks.
•The robots interact with their environment and each other through an ad-hoc RF network, IR LEDs and sensors.
• Swarm commands are sent from a central control unit.
Project Specific Success Criteria•An ability for each agent to avoid obstacles
autonomously.
•An ability to detect direction and proximity of other objects to each agent using IR sensors.
•An ability to transmit data packets among agents using an ad-hoc RF network.
•An ability to utilize swarm behavior to find a simulated chemical spill.
•An ability to utilize swarm behavior to avoid a predator.
