-
This theme is in response to the agricultural scenario where labor-intensive work is prevalent.
-
Multiple autonomous robots explore an arena and communicate with one another to perform tasks simultaneously.
-
The robots are programmed using Elixir language with a dashboard logging the sequence of events and remaining tasks in real-time over the Internet.
-
The arena abstracts a farm, consisting of crop seeds to be planted and weeds to be removed.
-
Crop seeds that must be sowed and weeds to be removed from the farm are present in the arena; necessary actions are taken by two or more robots.
-
These robots work collaboratively and communicate with each other to explore the unknown farm and determine where seeds should be sown and/or weeds should be removed.
-
If one of the robots fail, the residual task may be taken over by another. The team that completes tasks in the shortest amount of time with minimum penalties wins.
