Abstract
Swarm robotics come into the picture of replacing humans on life-risking jobs because of its decentralization concept, i.e. a damaged unit do not affect the entire system performance. Airborne type swarm robotics have high flexibility since they can bypass most obstacles. Swarm robotics can be utilized to scout unknown terrain, target searching or S.A.R applications. In this project, simulation to visualize the swarm quadcopters’ performance onto an assigned environment using robotic software simulator called V-REP software is presented. Robotic simulator software take account of real-life physics which increases the accuracy for simulation and retrieves reliable results from the simulation. Hence, robotic simulator software could replace real-life testing for at least initial ideas exploration to real-life situation.
