....for: multiple concurrent roles (target observers) with clear eligibility function Simple evaluation and systems for comparison. We have tested our BLE approach on a multi target observation task known as CMOMMT (Cooperative Multi robot Observation of Multiple Moving Targets) introduced by [Par97] and a prioritized variation that we call W CMOMMT. CMOMMT is an NP hard problem that requires strong cooperation [Par98] for good performance. It has the benefit of simple formulation and analysis, and implemented systems for comparison. Par99] gives a thorough overview of related work; ....

....between behaviors can be modified dynamically. We believe that extending PAB interactions across networks of distributed computers opens up a new range of simple, robust algorithms for multi robot control. With the development of Ayllu, a language for distributed, behavior based control [4], we can now begin exploration of these algorithms. We present a BLE approach to the CMOMMT multi target observation problem implemented on a team of physical robots. 2. BROADCAST OF LOCAL ELIGIBILITY The Broadcast of Local Eligibility (BLE) mechanism involves comparison of locally determined ....

.... is a strong trend in the robotics community towards distributed robotic systems the use of groups of robots rather than single robots for greater robustness, scalability, and economy, as well as to achieve strongly cooperative tasks those which simply cannot be performed by a solitary robot ([14,19,2]. Though it is not uncommon these days to see mobile robots equipped with wireless Ethernet links, there are few that have communications architectures that address the many problems specific to the robotic domain. Some of these are: ffl Unreliable communication: Even the most sophisticated radio ....
