Intelligent mobile robots cooperation within a tasks oriented environment

Abstract

This article describes the architecture of a system that assigns operation tasks to a team of mobile robots. The purpose of the system is the execution of a complex set of operations by a cooperative team of robots. The framework includes a simple and friendly interface that uses a WWW navigator. The robot team is equipped with a different set of capacities. Each individual robot is developed having its own elementary set of tasks that can be executed. Even so, the robots are not able to execute a complex operation independently, this being the reason for witch this assign manager system was implemented, using a database as support. The database contains all the necessary information in order to perform complex operations.
