Dear All,
What kind of small mobile robots are available in market to undertake multi-robot research? Would you have anything to be recommended?
Thanks!

Dear Chaomin Luo
I have read about the smart dust robot. It is still under investigation. You may go though , the project has a lot of limitations like ( power consumption, communication overhead, processing cost. Somehow you can get your aim.

It is hard to answer this question exactly because I don't know what do you mean by small mobile robots and what is your requirements. It depends on size preference, hardware, opensource access and application (I mean underwater, UAV, or ground robots).
1. Anyhow, we in our lab was using Turtlebot for swarm robotic research.
https://www.turtlebot.com/
This robot is opensource with great online research material and a turtlebot has a good number of community members.
2. RosBoT is also another option. RosBot and turtlebot are ground robots using mostly in research.
3. For UAV we were suing DIJI matrix 100 and few others.
4. Also there are wheelchair platforms, manipulators and many others.
Later in our lab researchers built their own platforms. And I think this is the best solution if you want to do long term research. You can fit your own hardware and sensors. Once can easily build these kind of robots if he knows the proper requirements.
