Abstract
A special kind of surveillance problem is the monitoring of wide enclosed areas with difficult access and changing environments. The characteristics of this kind of problem recommend a solution based on a multi-agent system, where several robots cooperate to solve the problem. A multi-robot system for surveillance in these kinds of environments has been designed and simulated on the Gazebo 3D simulator. Typical surveillance tasks are simulated and experimental results are shown.
