Swarm robot simulation using object-oriented programming

Swarm robotics is a new approach to the coordination of large numbers of relatively simple robots which have three desired characteristics for multi-robot systems: robustness, flexibility and scalability. In this paper we will discuss the objectives of making swarm robot simulation program using Object-oriented programming (OOP) tools. As we know that swarm robots consist of large numbers of simple agents. Those agents usually have similar hardware structure (e.g. sensors, motors, communication tools... etc) and that's why using OOP tools is very efficient. By using OOP we hope simulations will have three desired characteristics: flexibility, scalability and robustness.
