Abstract: | As research progresses in distributed robotic systems, more and more aspects of multirobot systems are being explored. This
article describes advances in multirobot systems, and surveys the current state of the art. The focus is principally on research
that has been demonstrated in physical robot implementations. I have identified eight primary research topics within multirobot
systems—biological inspirations, communication, architectures, localization/mapping/exploration, object transport and manipulation,
motion coordination, reconfigurable robots, and learning—and discuss the current state of research in these areas. As I describe
each research area, I identify some key open issues in multirobot team research, and conclude by identifying several additional
open research issues in distributed mobile robotic systems.
This work was presented, in part, at the Seventh International Symposium on Artificial Life and Robotics, Oita, Japan, January
16–18, 2002 |
