High-level behavior regulation for multi-robot systems

We propose a new collaborative guidance platform for a team of robots that should protect a fixed ground target from one or several threats. The team of robots performs high-level behaviors. These are hand-coded since they consist in driving the robots to some given position. However, deciding when and how to use these behaviors is much more challenging. Scripting high-level interception strategies is a complex problem and applicable to few specific application contexts. We propose to use a gene regulatory network to regulate high-level behaviors and to enable the emergence of efficient and robust interception strategies.
