Abstract

The paper presents requirements and issues for a mobile robot design that is finalized to work in a swarm with cooperation among several other units with the same structure and features. A design for a small mobile robot TORVEbot is proposed by considering the requirements for locomotion in cooperation as combined with integrated sensing and motion planning. Preliminary results are also discussed to highlight problems and targets of the swarm project under development at the University of Rome Tor Vergata.
