Abstract

We describe a distributed software system for controlling a group of miniature robots using a low capacity communication system. Space and power limitations on the robots drastically limit the capacity of the communication system and require sharing bandwidth and other resources among the robots. We have developed a scheduling and resource allocation system that is capable of dynamically assigning resources to each robot.
