Multiple-Robot Systems
The motivations for the intense interest in designing systems of multiple robots:
Tasks may be complex.
A robot is limited in the space it covers and perceives.
The efficiency of scale. Building simple robots is easier, cheaper and more flexible.
Cooperative Behavior
Given a task, a multiple-robot
system displays cooperative
behavior when:
The underlying collaboration mechanism makes the total utility increase.
That is, the system’s performance is higher when robot agents collaborate.
