A group of three simple mobile robots (Lego NXT) was used to study ‘search and rescue’ operation. A bio-inspired global optimization technique called particle swarm optimization (PSO) was used as the main algorithm. Each robot was placed in pre-defined positions with a target position corresponding to a single target. The robots would search in spirals till the target was found by any one of the
