Final Year Project

Project Title

Sqaudbot - A Multi-Agent Robotic Research and Teaching Platform

Description

Sqaudbot is a research platform of multi-agent robotics system for search and rescue purposes. The system consists of multiple robots that communicate with each other and perform the tasks assigned to them. The application of such a system is found in Field Robotics, used mostly for civilian and military purposes; mainly agriculture, firefighting, surveillance, reconnaissance etc. This project aims at creating a space that introduces multi-agent robotics for learning and research purposes. This platform builds on existing systems, but at a much lower cost with minimum reduction in capabilities. Moreover, the work takes on a modular approach to construct a DIY platform with ROS as the common robotics middleware, where multiple ground robots will be able to communicate with a master node over ROS.
