PROJECT TIMELINE
A particular oil spill has been detected and after a certain response time, the robotic swarm is transported and
deployed by a dedicated ship (or other means) in close proximity to the spill The units have the ability (via appropriate
sen-sors) to identify oil target areas and confront the spill. During their operation they need to return to the
deployment ship many times for various functions, like unloading or refuelling (if the power autonomous capacity is
reached). In order to make more effective use of the swarm system, in some cases the robots might exhibit special
forms of co-operative behaviour. The robots may need at times to cluster tightly together, and at other times to scatter
evenly in their working area so that the work can be partitioned evenly among them. Sometimes they need to spread
out far away from their original position, for instance, to explore. For example, presents a special case where, apart
from the use of a boom, the robots could cluster tightly below a threshold to protect a coastline by the approaching
spill.
