Abstract
A tracking infrastructure is a useful tool for swarm robotics research, and has many potential applications. Unfortunately, for many research laboratories, constructing one may be prohibitively expensive. In this paper we present a low-cost tracking infrastructure that was built at the York Robotics Laboratory for tracking ground-based robot swarms in real-time. We highlight the considerations that were taken when build- ing and configuring the system, using a swarm of e-puck robots as a case study. Potential applications of the system are discussed, the cost of the equipment is documented, and its known limitations are addressed. This paper aims to serve as a resource for other swarm robotics researchers interested in implementing a similar low-cost tracking solution.
