Abstract
This work is primarily devoted to specific communication and sensing approaches applied for large microrobotic swarms. We investigate the minimal capabilities of a microrobot which still enable the whole robotic group to perform collective activities. These minimal capabilities are implemented in the hardware which allows exploring a phenomenon of swarm intelligence in real experiments. The components of the developed system consume energy provided by microcontroller's I/O ports, are cheap and available on micro-component market.
