摘要：Robotics is expected to play a major role in the agricultural domain, and often multi-robot systems and collaborative approaches are mentioned as potential solutions to improve efficiency and system robustness. Among the multi-robot approaches, swarm robotics stresses aspects like flexibility, scalability and robustness in solving complex tasks, and is considered very relevant for precision farming and large-scale agricultural applications. However, swarm robotics research is still confined into the lab, and no application in the field is currently available. The objective of our project is to demonstrate the usage of this swarm intelligence concept in agriculture field. A distributed control system can let robots interact with other nearby robots, cooperating amongst themselves to accomplish their mission.Individual robots must work independently, only communicating with other nearby robots. The prototype of robots consists of Arduino Uno ATMEGA328P which is used as the control unit for both main robot and follower robot with a transceiver pair of NRF24L01 (2.4 GHz) to establish communication between them and complete agricultural tasks.
