A Context Aware Multi-robot Coordination System Based on Agent Technology

This paper presents an approach for multi-robot coordination based both on coordinated navigation and task allocation method. An ad hoc agent based architecture is defined in order to implement the robot control system in both simulation and real applications. The coordination of the multi-robot system is based on agent interaction and negotiation, and a communication infrastructure based on open web standards is provided. The system employs the RFID technology for building a context aware information system which is the base of the coordination strategies.
