....cooperation involved various implementations of a cooperative cleaning task using two mobile robots. The task served as a benchmark against which to evaluate various schemes for cooperation, and as a demonstration of our control architecture the Architecture for Behaviour Based Agents (ABBA) [Jung et al. 1998b; Jung and Zelinsky, 1998c; Jung, 1998] The Yamabico robots we built were designed at the University of Tsukuba [Yuta et al. 1991] pictured in Figure 1) One particular implementation of the task required a purposive navigation capability from both robots. This paper presents the integrated ....

....level communication. The remainder of this paper introduces our robots and the mechanism we implemented to create a shared grounding for locations. 6. Symbolic Communication Example Our research involved the development of an architecture for behavior based agents that supports cooperation [Jung, 1998; Jung and Zelinsky, 1999] 3 . To validate the architecture we implemented a cooperative cleaning task using the two Yamabico mobile robots pictured in Figure 5 [Yuta et al. 1991] The task is to clean our laboratory floor space. Our laboratory is a cluttered environment, so the 3 See also ....
....Joh uses the visual iconic representation of Flo to ground an indexical reference for the likely location of the pile of litter deposited. Figure 6 shows Joh visually observing Flo via a distinctive pattern. Details of the implementation the visual behavior we employed can be found in [Jung et al. 1998a] A top view of typical trajectories of the robot is shown in Figure 7. The third layer introduces explicit communication. Specifically, upon depositing a pile of litter, Flo signals via radio the position (distance and orientation) of the pile relative to its body and the relative positions of ....
