The Concept of Robot Society: Evidence Taken From Multi-Robot SLAM

In this paper, it is presented the significance and the advantages of cooperation in the different societies making the analogy in the concept of robot society. In order to compare the advantages of cooperative robots over a single robot, it is considered essential the development of computational simulation based on the robotic cooperation in unstructured environments. It is implemented a Multi-Robot Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) using Rao-Blackwellized particle filter [1] in a simulation environment developed in the Player / Stage platform for robot and sensor applications.
