This is an era of whirlwind advancement in science and technology. An exhaustive research work is taking place these days to work out efficient and sophisticated systems in order to ease human life. Swarm Robotics is an example, an idea inspired by swarm of insects. Robots in a group develop greater efficiency since they aid one another and avoid loop holes. In our project, a robotic team, comprising a master and two slaves, has been developed. The team has been enabled to co-ordinate and reach navigational goals, avoid hurdles, thereby maintaining a formation, by integration of formation and navigational behaviors. Once stationed as a fully developed system, the robotic team may be employed as agents to provide surveillance, aid in fire extinguishing, land mine detection, for agricultural purposes and other humanitarian causes.
