摘要: While many multi-robot systems rely on fortuitous cooperation between agents, some tasks, such as the assembly of large structures, require tighter coordination. We present a general software architecture for coordinating heterogeneous robots that allows both autonomy individual agents well explicit This paper presents recent results with three very different configurations. Working team, these are able to perform high-precision docking task none could achieve individually.
