Abstract

In this paper we present a collective detection scheme using receptor density algorithm to self-detect certain types of failure in swarm robotic systems. Key to any fault-tolerant system, is its ability to be robust to failure and have appropriate mechanisms to cope with a variety of such failures. In this work we present an error detection scheme based on T-cell signalling in which robots in a swarm collaborate by exchanging information with respect to performance on a given task, and self-detect errors within an individual. While this study is focused on deployment in a swarm robotic context, it is possible that our approach could possibly be generalized to a wider variety of multi-agent systems.
