Abstract

This chapter demonstrates the novel bio-inspired algorithm based on the butterflies mating behavior in nature and its implementation in the multirobotic platform. Based on the butterflies mating strategy, an algorithm named butterfly mating optimization (BMO) was implemented and also presented virtual simulation results. The real-time experiments were performed on the BMO algorithm in the multirobotic arena. Various practical experiments were conducted based on the static and dynamic movement of the light source. To evaluate the same phenomenon, various ongoing and prospective works such as mid-sea ship detection, aerial search applications, and earthquake prediction were discussed.
