Improvement of Obstacle Avoidance Algorithm in Navigation for Swarm Robotics using MATLAB

Girish Balasubramanian, Senthil Arumugam Muthukumaraswamy

This paper discusses the recent developments of obstacle avoidance algorithms being used in the field of swarm robotics for various applications with a focus on navigation. This includes reviews of work done for algorithms in the area of object detection, multi robot navigation, obstacle avoidance among others. The paper also discusses how impactful the work done so far is to the field and what are the challenges being faced that hinder progress. The paper also showcases some simulation results obtained using MATLAB for obstacle avoidance in a multi robot environment. The paper then continues to discuss work that is expected to be done in the coming years.
