The swarm consists of a marsupialrobot that is capable of carrying the small robots for fastdeployment and loading the small robots for fast displacement.The heterogeneous robotic swarm is governed by a hierarchicaldistributed control including distributed node control for be-havioural control and connectivity maintenance, and distributedconnectivity control for network expansion and global networkintegrity. We illustrate systematic characteristics and potentialapplications of the heterogeneous robotic swarm compared tothe homogeneous robotic swarm through simulation results. date: 2014-12-05 type: Conference or Workshop Item type: PeerReviewed identifier: Ngo, Trung Dung and Pham, Minh Trien and Pham, Duy Hung (2014) A Kangaroo Inspired Heterogeneous Swarm of Mobile Robots with Global Network Integrity for Fast Deployment and Exploration in Large-Scale Structured Environments.
