Abstract
Intelligent Control is a novel way to solve problems involving the control of complex systems in many areas. Among these areas are multi-robot systems. Swarm robotics is a multi-robot system that is inspired by natural swarms such as ones found among social insects. One of the problems found within swarm robotics involves the forming of geometrical shapes in 2D-space through local interactions. This thesis has taken an existing solution to the shape forming problem and addressed some of the limitations of it. Through the use of a computer simulation, a swarm robotic system using these improvements were simulated and yielded positive results.
