Abstract

In this paper is presented an alternative to performing the analysis of the sensors in the field of applied cooperative robotics for search and location of disaster victims. This work proposes the use of the Rendezvous algorithm to validate the information coming from the sensors of a multi-robot system. The sensors located in each one of the robotic agents provide a measured value according to the existence or not of victims in the surrounding zone to the robot. Since the information coming from the robots is not the same, however, its belong to the same sensed parameters, the Rendezvous algorithm is used to find a consensus of opinion about the existence of victims. In addition, the swarm of robots uses bio-inspired techniques to generate the navigation algorithm. This navigation algorithm was inspired by the foraging technique used by swarms such as bees, birds or bacteria. The results present some Rendezvous algorithm simulation and robot swarm navigation showing the feasibility of the proposed system.
