摘要：AbstractThe diversified ecology in the nature had various forms of swarm behaviors in many species. The butterfly species is one of the prominent and a bit insight in their random flights and convert that into artificial metaphor would leads to enormous possibilities. This paper considers one such metaphor known as Butterfly Mating Optimization (BMO). In BMO, the Bfly follows the patrolling mating phenomena and simultaneously capture all the local optima of multimodal functions. This paper studied the various steps involved in the BMO and envisaged to apply on multi mobile-robots termed as BflyBots, to detect a light source in the workspace and sequentially presents embedded part and experimental results of BflyBot which could sense the light intensity using LDR’s with the help of gyro, communicate with other bots using Xbee modules simultaneously and select their local mate. The experiments are conducted and preliminary results are presented.
