Scientists
of Indian origin Dr. Bhibhya Sharma
and Dr. Utesh Chand of University
of South Pacific have developed a
set of algorithms for robotic cars
to communicate with each other to
prevent collision.
They, also, have designed equations
to instruct the cars to merge lanes
to ease out traffic congestions.
Explaining his program, Dr. Sharma
stated, “Flocking is a biologically
inspired technique and a strategy
commonly used in robotics. One of
the advantages of flocking is that
robots can work together and achieve
what would take individuals far longer.”
The team of scientists demonstrated
the technique using two wheel robots.
The findings of these scientists were
presented at the first Rim Mathematical
Association (PRIMA) conference in
Sydney.
