Abstract
The field of robotics and particularly the area of multiagent systems has been growing steadily. There is hope to one day have robots that not only interact with humans, but also interact among themselves. Before this goal can be reached, work must be done to create a system that promotes heterogeneous robotic agents and allows for change in the number and type of robots it commands. This paper presents a system that accomplishes this by taking vocal commands as input and relaying the commands to three robots of different builds by two different means of communication. The network is tested for accuracy of speech recognition and time response to the execution of commands.
