Abstract

Problems of multiagent mobile robotics concern teams of mobile robots organized to perform an ordained task. Dynamic problems of navigation in multiagent environment require a theory of spatial reasoning. We propose here a spatial theory based on rough mereology along with an implementation in the software system Player/Stage. The proposed theoretical–software system provides a platform for analysis of tasks of multiagent mobile robotics.
