Abstract
The current paper deals with the swarm robots reliability. Cloud robotics, fog robotics and the Internet of the Robotic Things are the fast growing scientific fields nowadays, yet the terms “cloud” and “fog” relate to the network facilities and devices rather than the swarm. In this paper the new approach is proposed, to place a fog-like structure into the swarm and so to affect the reliability of those robots, which need the reliability correction. To show the potential of the approach proposed, simple models are developed, as well as some simulations have been made. Based on the simulation results, “greedy” and “egoistic” strategies are proposed to affect the robots reliability.
