Cover Story: Recent population migrations have led to numerous accidents and deaths. This article presents a review of the techniques that can be used in a robot’s swarm to find, locate, protect and help migrants in hazardous environments, such as militarized zones. The paper presents a swarm interaction taxonomy and includes a detailed study on the control of swarms with and without interaction. As the interaction mainly occurs in cluttered or crowded environments (with obstacles), the paper discusses the algorithms related to navigation that can be included with an interaction strategy.
