Abstract
In this research, connective type swarm robots are developed for motion on irregular ground and narrow space in the disaster area and searching tasks. This robot system satisfies two conflicting properties - large body size for overcoming irregular ground and small body size for entering narrow space, by its connection and separation function. Moreover, this system can adapt to the trouble of its unit of swarm, separating its troubled unit and connecting to new one. In this presentation, the concept of connective swarm robot is proposed and basic movement on irregular ground and narrow area of this robot system is simulated and evaluated using 3DCG.
