Abstract: Swarm robotics deals with the multi-robot coordination for achieving the common objective. The latest research in this field focuses on more complicated domain of problem where swarms of robots may require to physically dock together to achieve the goal. The physical docking may be required to move over a big obstacle or also to perform precise physical connection with certain objective e.g. battery charging. In this research, the information from vision sensor is considered to provide support for performing precise physical docking. The robotic system considered in this study requires the robots to autonomously recharge their batteries for guaranteeing long term operations and also to perform complicated physical docking for which precision is necessary. A very simple but effective solution based on LEDs, used in a specified pattern on docking station, is adopted. The approach presented in this research is found computationally less expensive so is suited to be used with swarm robot ic system which uses small robots with limited memory and processing resources.
