Abstract Autonomous robots capable of independently moving about on rough terrain and capable of gathering and physically connecting to each other so as to form a collective entity acting as a whole is a rather new research topic in mechatronics. The work presented here shows how such devices called swarmbots are being simulated using Swarmbot3d, a programming environment specifically developed for them. Experiments show how close the response of the simulated robot is with respect to that given by the real devices.
