28.10. Swarm Robotics in SAR

Try these first

1. 1.

   What is swarm robotics?

   Hint

   Think about how groups of robots work together.

2. 2.

   Why is decentralized decision-making important?

   Hint

   Consider how individual robots can act on their own.

3. 3.

   What does swarm robotics primarily involve?

   • Using one complex robot
   • Multiple simple robots working together
   • Robots only operating independently

   Hint

   Think about how teams of robots might work together.

4. 4.

   True or False: Decentralized decision-making slows down the response time of swarm robots.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Consider the advantages of robots making independent decisions.

5. 5.

   Design a swarm robotic system for a potential disaster scenario, identifying how you would implement area coverage, victim detection, and self-healing features.

   Hint

   Consider the individual roles of the robots and how they communicate.

6. 6.

   Critically analyze the advantages and disadvantages of decentralized decision-making in SAR operations, providing at least two of each.

   Hint

   Think of how these robots would operate in a chaotic environment.
