Swarm Cohesion Stability Using a Fuzzy Logic Based Attractive/Repulsive Function

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this study, a novel class of swarm robots with fuzzy logic based attractive/repulsive force function is presented. This kind of attractive/repulsive function seems to be more general and natural than other explicit mathematical formulations. It shows that the members of swarm robot will asymptotically form a cohesive cluster in predicted bounded region. Simulation example is demonstrated to validate the theoretical results.
