Universal Distributed Brain for Mobile Multi-Robot Systems

  • Conference paper
Distributed Autonomous Robotic Systems 5

Abstract

The paper describes a new concept for the creation of a universal distributed brain for mobile multi-robot systems. This brain spatially interprets a special high-level language in which mission scenarios can be efficiently formulated and implemented, with cooperative work of robots being a derivative of the parallel interpretation process. Due to universal nature of the scenario language proposed, which navigates in a unity of physical and virtual worlds and operates with both information and physical matter, the approach may form a new basis for the development and massive production of advanced distributed multi-robot systems.
