Mohan, D.Guruprasad, K.R.2026-02-052018International Journal of Engineering and Technology (UAE), 2018, 7, 2, pp. 20-23https://doi.org/10.14419/ijet.v7i2.21.11828https://idr.nitk.ac.in/handle/123456789/25363In this paper, we present a new concept in robotics, which we call as swarm-dular robotics, by bringing together swarm robotics and modular robotics. We propose a swarm-dular quadcopter, which is a modular quadcopter, where, multiple wheeled ground robots (AGVs), which are part of a heterogenous swarm or multi-robotic(agent) system (MRS or MAS), attach/dock together to form an aerial quadcopter robot. We provide a conceptual design and demonstrate the proposed system using simulation experiments in Robot Operating System (ROS). Behavior of the system as both a swarm and a modular quadcopter UAV are demonstrated. © 2018 Authors.
