Multi-Robot Team Coordination using Desirabilities
نویسندگان
چکیده
Desirability functions are an effective way to express and implement complex behavior coordination strategies inside a single robot. In this paper, we extend the desirability function approach to deal with behaviors of teams of robots. We show that desirability functions offer a convenient tool to incorporate and blend individual objectives and team objectives. We illustrate our approach on two significant problems of team coordination: reactive formation motion control, and collaborative searching and tracking.

Multi-Robot Dynamic Role Assignment and Coordination Through Shared Potential Fields
Role assignment and coordination are difficult issues for multi-robot systems, especially in highly dynamic tasks. Robot soccer is one such task and it provides a unique challenge for multi-robot research. In this paper, we contribute the approach that we successfully developed for CMPACK’02 , our team for the RoboCup-2002 Sony legged league. The RoboCup-2002 Sony robots were equipped with wire...
متن کاملA Market Approach to Tightly-coupled Multi-robot Coordination: First Results
In multi-robot systems, a group of robots cooperate to accomplish tasks more efficiently than could a single robot. In this paper, we apply the market approach to the problem of tightly-coupled, distributed control of a multi-robot team. In this approach, the robots act in a self-interested manner to maximize their profits. Since profit is tied to accomplishment of the group task, the robots ac...
متن کاملMulti-robot collaboration and coordination in a high-risk transportation scenario
This paper discusses a decentralized multi-robot coordination strategy which aims to control and guide a team of robotic agents safely through a hostile area. The ”hostility” of the environment is due to the presence of enemy forces, seeking to intercept the robotic team. In order to avoid detection and ensure global team safety, the robotic agents must carefully plan their trajectory towards a...
متن کاملMulti-Robot Coordination in the Robot Soccer Environment
MAPS (Multi-Agent Planning system) is a system developed for multi-agent coordination developed for use in the robot soccer domain. The system operates without explicit communication of strategy between agents, relying upon observation of team members to produce meaningful coordinated behaviour. Each robot is coordinated with the others by MAPS choosing goal actions that most benefit the team. ...
متن کاملDynamic Multi-robot Coordination
Communication among a group of robots should in principle improve the overall performance of the team of robots, as robots may share their world views and may negotiate task assignments. However, in practice, effectively handling in real-time multi-robot merge of information and coordination is a challenging task. In this paper, we present the approach that we have successfully developed for a ...
