....our framework can potentially scale to groups of tens and hundreds of robots. 1 Introduction The last few years have seen active research in the field of control and coordination for multiple mobile robots, and application to tasks such as exploration [1] surveillance [3] search and rescue [7], mapping of unknown or partially known environments [6] distributed manipulation [9] and transportation of large objects [16] An excellent review of contemporary work in this area is presented in [10] In this paper we consider situations in which there may be no access to any global ....

....using cooperative robot teams for USAR [4] and a preliminary investigation won one of three 1998 Robotics Industries Association paper awards. 15] The only other efforts in using cooperative robotic teams explicitly intended for rescue operations that we are aware of to date is Jennings et al. [16]. However, that work concentrated on developing distributed control algorithms with no communication to allow multiple robots to autonomously swarm around an object and rescue it by manipulating it. This is a different problem set than those in urban search and rescue, even in terms of victim ....

....in the environment. It is a combination of a loosely coupled task, where the robots search the area independently looking for objects, and a tightly coupled task, in which the robots must manipulate objects in cooperation. This task is similar to the cooperative search and rescue proposed in [6] with the basic difference that more than one object must be transported to complete this task. Another similar task is the object sorting described in [8] where groups of robots must transport several objects between different locations in a bounded area. This work is organized as follows. The ....

....her ALLIANCE architecture, is also able to handle formation maintenance, among other multi robot tasks. While still not employing explicit coordination, the robots use the concepts of motivation and impatience to effectively cooperate, and to do so in a fault tolerant manner. Jennings et al. [12] have developed a distributed executive for multi robot coordination. The executive, based on a distributed dialect of Scheme, is similar to our executive language in the types of explicit synchronization constraints it supports. One difference with our work is that Jennings executive is not ....
