| Summary: | Implementation of cooperative robot systems in search, exploration, or delivery tasks can potentially provide advantages over a single robot system. For example, better performance, fault tolerance through agent redundancy, and lower individual complexity may be achieved. By using multiple robots, each with a subset of the capabilities necessary to accomplish a given task, one can use simpler robots which are presumably less expensive to engineer than a single monolithic robot with all of the capabilities bundled together. Most successful existing systems are usually applied advanced, high cost, and specialized platforms with high sensing and processing capabilities. However, cooperative behavior can also be realized by simpler, low-cost systems that provide a certain degree of sensing and processing capabilities. We discuss the test-bed design of a simple low-cost cooperative robot system and cooperative algorithm for a given task. We show the proposed system completes a given task. |
