Abstract

In this paper, we try to implement collaborative coverage using swarm networked robot. The collaborative robots will reduce time to cover area using enhanced reusability in technique. By reusing parameters in localization operation we proposed coverage. This type of coverage are useful in farms, open grounds etc. A feasible solution has been found and simulation results for a swarm of mobile robots are also presented that uses coverage and positioning algorithms.
