Abstract
Quad-copters, sometimes called quad-rotors or quad-rotor helicopters, are currently a very popular platform for robotics research, primarily due to their properties, such as small size and mechanical simplicity. Coordination in multi-robot systems is one of the open issues of swarm robotics. Space exploration and mapping are crucial abilities of mobile robots for the intelligent autonomous systems. This paper proposes a solution for space exploration and surveillance based on several biologically inspired methods and algorithms. The best form to represent the results form research simulations is the 3D visualization. The paper also describes the developed tool for visualization of more than one quad-copters as mobile agents during simulation.
