HeRo 2.0: A Low-Cost Robot for Swarm Robotics Research
@article{Rezeck2022HeRo2A, title={HeRo 2.0: A Low-Cost Robot for Swarm Robotics Research}, author={Paulo A. F. Rezeck and H{\'e}ctor Azp{\'u}rua and Maur{\'i}cio F. S. Corr{\^e}a and Luiz Chaimowicz}, journal={ArXiv}, year={2022}, volume={abs/2202.12391} }
The current state of electronic component miniaturization coupled with the increasing efficiency in hardware and software allow the development of smaller and compact robotic systems. The convenience of using these small, simple, yet capable robots has gathered the research community’s attention towards practical applications of swarm robotics. This paper presents the design of a novel platform for swarm robotics applications that is low cost, easy to assemble using off-the-shelf components…
