In today's world, the possibility of humans working in disaster-prone areas such as earthquake, fire, blasts or radioactive war zones where repetitive search and report has to be done can be difficult or too dangerous. Thus, a robot can replace the human and do his work. Here we propose an idea known as the Master-slave technique to control a system of robots, The Alpha-Minion Bots which are fitted with thermal imaging and are interconnected through a wireless protocol. This is basically a multi-robot system that consists of a group of smaller robots that coordinate between themselves and complete a bigger task which will be impossible or inefficient with a single robot system. © 2015 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
