Abstract

This paper deals with coordinating behaviour in a multi-autonomous robot system. When two or more autonomous robots must interact in order to accomplish some common goal, communication between the robots is essential. Different inter-robot communications strategies give rise to different overall system performance and reliability. After a brief consideration of some theoretical approaches to multiple robot collections, we present concrete implementations of different strategies for convoy-like behaviour. The convoy system is based around two RWI B12 mobile robots and uses only passive visual sensing for inter-robot communication. The issues related to different communication strategies are considered.
