Abstract
Since the beginning of Polar Robotics at Ohio Northern University, the team has struggled with passing the football from the quarterback robot to the wide receiver robot because it is quite difficult for two drivers to align themselves. My capstone group is making a system that can track the angle and position of unique LED light formations so the quarterback can auto-align with the selected wide receiver. The system can record these values and display them on a custom GUI so the team can review matches for training and strategic purposes. This report will explore how this system can be generalized and used commercially. The scope will be expanded to swarm robotics which has many applications. Some of these applications are rescue operations, precision agriculture, environmental monitoring, construction maintenance, and traffic management, but this report will focus on how swarm robotics and this system can improve warehouse automation. The Need, Approach, Benefit to Cost Ratio, and Competition of swarm robotics in a warehouse environment will be discussed. By exploring this system for the application of warehouse automation, a more viable solution inspires more research.
