Architecture and .NET Implementation of Multi- Robot Management System

Abstract

Abstract In this paper we propose architecture for a multirobot management system, ways of identifying the implementation challenges and analyzing how to address these challenges by using out-of-the-box features provided by .NET framework. We make a departure from using agent or robot specific development tools in order to take a fresh look at one of the industry leading general purpose development platforms that is .NET framework to analyze its applicability to multi-robot system development. For verification of the proposed ideas in practice, a multi-robot system is implemented using physical iRobot Roomba robots as the robot platform.
