Abstract

This paper describes the approach of the RescueRobots Freiburg Virtual League team. Our simulated robots are based on the two real robot types Lurker, a robot capable of climbing stairs and random stepfield, and Zerg, a lightweight and agile robot, capable of autonomously distributing RFID tags. Our approach covers a novel method for RFID-Technology based SLAM and exploration, allowing the fast and efficient coordination of a team of robots. Furthermore we utilize Petri nets for team coordination.
