Distributed efficient localization in swarm robotics using Min–Max and Particle Swarm Optimization

作者：

Highlights：

• We propose an efficient localization method for swarm robotic systems.

• The method, based on Min–Max and PSO algorithms, presents low positioning error.

• We demonstrate that the method overcomes the drawback of the Min–Max method.

• It is shown that the processing time grows with the swarm connectivity.
