Abstract
In this paper we present a control architecture for multi-robot systems in dynamic environments, where the low level behaviors are obtained through artificial neural networks and evolutionary algorithms to achieve collaborative behaviors in a multi-robot system. As an example, we have cooperative tasks establishing a surveillance scenario stressing cooperation and competition between them.
