....towards the accomplishment of a given (common) task (e.g. AAAI Robotic Contest [8] RoboCup [53] and MiroSot [45] From a commercial industrial standpoint, this distributed implementation of a robot is an interesting solution. Several robots working together, to move heavy and hazardous loads [1], to deliver mail and small parcels in oce environments [21] to build maps of unknown environments [51] to detect landmines [23] or to transport food and medicines inside hospitals [56] are an advantageous solution with respect to a one robot system. Advantages include: robustness; scalability; ....
....robots incrementally merge their plans. The exchanged information regards the robots current state and future actions. It is a centralized system, well suited to the control of large number of robots navigating is a well de ned route network. Results on the control of real robots are presented in [1]. Distributed control systems are often associated with behavior based and reactive solutions, inspired by Brooks work [15] In and attempt to attain a compromise between purely reactive and deliberative approaches, hybrid controllers have emerged as an alternative for the control of MARS. ....

Each architecture that has been developed for multirobot teams tends to focus on providing a specific type of capability to the distributed robot team. Capabilities that have been of particular emphasis include task planning [1], fault tolerance [36] swarm control [31] human design of mission plans [26] and so forth. A general research question in this vein is whether specialized architec tures for each type of robot team and or application domain are needed, or whether a more general architecture can be developed ....

....which have impressively shown the potential impact of this technology for future applications of plan based control. In NASA s Deep Space program a planbased robot controller, called the Remote Agent [18] has autonomously controlled scientific experiments in the space. In the Martha project [1], fleets of robots have been effectively controlled and coordinated. Xavier [22] an autonomous mobile robot with a plan based controller, has navigated through an office environment for more than a year, allowing people to issue navigation commands and monitor their execution via the Internet. ....

....or in its capacities, it can either replan its set 1 LAAS CNRS, France FURG RS CNPq, Brazil of functions or ask for the help from the others. We use an adapted version of the Contract Net Protocol [7] for doing the negotiation. The cooperative system was developed using Martha Architecture [1]. Three layers compose this architecture. The first two levels are called: decisional system. Each layer of decisional system is run respecting the principle whereby the aspects of the planning and the aspects of the control run in parallel and independently. From the original architecture, a ....

Multiple architectures have been proposed to support faulttolerant execution of plans for single and multiple robot systems. Examples span from support for highlevel mission speci cation [8] and task planning [3] to situated control [15] fault tolerant control [10, 5] and robust execution of distributed plans [4] Much remains to be done before a general architecture is developed that is applicable to heterogeneous robots and tasks and supports real time operations under a wide spectrum of conditions ....

....plan and perform cooperatively a set of tasks in a hospital environment. 1 Introduction Our long term target is the development of a comprehensive set of schemes, mechanisms and tools for multi robot cooperation. The first step towards this target was the development of the Plan Merging Paradigm [1]. A second main step was the development of a distributed cooperative task allocation scheme called M Protocol [3, 2] However one set of cooperation issues has not been treated yet. This paper presents M task achievement, which is a decentralized multi robot scheme based on an on line ....
....that an individual plan causes negative interference in the plans of the other robots. In this case, their actions can lead to conflict situations that prevent goal achievement. We have already developed a cooperative scheme for multi robot coordination of conflicts, called Plan Merging Paradigm [1]. It is based on an incremental and distributed plan merging process for exclusive resource conflicts. In this paper, we propose a generalization of this mechanism for more complex world description, using social rules constraints; redundancy: it can occur that some plans present redundant ....

....coordinated and cooperative blocks in their announced validated plans, and send back their offers to R p . Step 2: R p analyzes the offers. R p brings together all received coordination and cooperation offers. Coordinated blocks: this analysis is directly derived from the Plan merging paradigm[1]. Block insertion is performed incrementally by adding temporal constraints to the robots plans 4 . Cooperative blocks: in a cooperative scenario, R p verifies which candidates are able to execute the cooperative blocks (composed of Abc begin, Aec end and Acl causal link actions) The robot ....
