Conclusion <strong>and</strong> Further EndeavourMultiple agent swarm robotics is the future when it comes to per<strong>for</strong>mingdaunting tasks efficiently in the least possible time with the minimum resourcespossible. The design presented here is a prototype swarm robotics plat<strong>for</strong>mcapable of per<strong>for</strong>ming virtually any kind of application sought of a robot in amuch more effective way by approaching the problem in a multi agentframework, especially keeping in mind the task of collecting r<strong>and</strong>omly scatteredgarbage over an area.This particular design offers the distinct advantage of being cost effective whichmakes it an af<strong>for</strong>dable choice <strong>for</strong> the masses. The design brings robotics to anordinary household. Modular nature of the design offers the advantage of beingused in a wide variety of applications wherein a user can install only the specificset of attachments over the skeleton to meet a particular requirement.This design has limitless opportunities <strong>for</strong> work in future. The basic skeletonhas been fabricated <strong>and</strong> rigorously tested. Now, any type of add-on or extensioncan be developed to meet any specific requirement. The modular design makesthe integration of these add-ons virtually seamless. By changing the design ofthe skeleton robot from wheeled locomotion to a boat propelled using the samemotors, we can make this design to per<strong>for</strong>m tasks in water bodies.By integrating adequate extension modules to the basic swarm robot structure,we can achieve very cost effective robotics solutions so flexible that they cancater to the daily needs of the masses <strong>and</strong> at the same time are possible ofper<strong>for</strong>ming sophisticated tasks in the most difficult working areas.
