Robotic Device Control Systems : A Comprehensive Survey of Inspiring Models

A survey of the different mechanisms in which robotic devices in swarms are designed, configured and coordinated is conducted. Two categories of design inspirations are noted. On one hand, non-interactive systems are dominant. Non-interactive systems comprise mathematics based, physics inspired, and intelligent elitist robotic devices. On the other hand, interactive systems are more practical. These are commonly built on biological systems. The survey, generally, presented grounds and baseline views which swarm intelligence systems developers may pursue upon making robotic device design choices. The views shared may assist when design avenues to take or avoid are considered.
