The project is about a group of robots that can push a box while staying together in a flock. They will be able to detect obstacles in front of them and get past them. They will also be able to detect whether the obstacle in front of them is a robot or not. The most striking characteristic of swarm robots are their ability to work collectively as a group to achieve a common goal. The main objective of this project is the distribution of workload among small homogenous robots to execute a specific task, which is to push a box that is heavy enough for a single robot to push. This technological device will also help perform various researches that studies the nature of how other living things behave who runs in flocks, i.e. birds, fish, wolves, ants, etc.
