Abstract

The design of a group of robots that should work together has to consider in an integrated way all the aspects of the "robot being": sensors and actuators, control, world modeling, strategy, coordination, adaptation and learning. At the speaker's lab this problem has been approached by defining a set of powerful tools to design with many degrees of freedom all the mentioned aspects. Their main features will be presented and discussed following a running example about the Robocup middle-size soccer robots.
