| Abstract | Some common issues exist in the bio-inspired algorithms for a multi-robot system include considerable randomness of the robot movement during coordination and unevenly distributed robots in a multi-task environment. To address these issues, a self-adaptive distributed multi-task allocation method in a multi-robot system is proposed in this paper. In this method, each robot only communicates with its neighbors through a virtual stigmergy mechanism and makes its local movement decision based on a balance between the exploration and exploitation inspired from particle swarm optimization (PSO) method. To further reduce the random movement, a new task utility function is developed, where not only the current available task weight and the travel cost are considered, but also the potential number of robot redundancy around the task, as well as the task/robot distribution ratio. The proposed algorithm has been implemented on the embodied robot simulator, Player/Stage, in a searching task. The simulation results demonstrate the efficiency and robustness in a power-efficient manner with the real-world constraints. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
