Robotic swarm has been a hot topic in recent years. In robotic swarms, a team of network enabled bots are dispatched to some areas to fulfill certain tasks, such as military actions and chemical substance tracking. However, how to monitor, control, and coordinate swarms in a real-time manner such that robots can collaborate efficiently and effectively is a challenging issue. In this paper, a real-time software on enforcing the monitoring, control, and coordination of intelligent robotic swarms (ROBOTRAK) has been developed. All the designed features and functionalities have been successfully implemented with user friendly graphical user interfaces (GUI) and extensively tested in various scenarios such as multiple robots and multiple servers running the ROBOTRAK software. Results show that ROBOTRAK is user friendly and can help monitor, control, and coordinate robotic swarms timely, effectively, and efficiently.
