A paradigm for plan-merging and its use for multi-robot cooperation

摘要

This paper presents a new approach for multirobot cooperation. It is based on a paradigm where robots incrementally merge their plans into a set of already coordinated plans. This is done through exchange of information about their current state and their future actions. This leads to a generic framework which can be applied to a variety of tasks and applications.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
