Description

Multirobot systems are emerging as a the new frontier in Robotics research, posing new challenges and offering new solutions to old problems. Multirobot systems are not a collection of robots performing a once-for-ever fixed task in a settled and static environment. They are collections of interacting, cooperating autonomous agents with physical embodiment that impose restrictions on what they can do, but also give them power to do some specific things. Thus the paradigms of Multi-Agent and Multirobot systems are somehow related and the recognition of this parallelism may foster new avenues for research and solutions. Autonomous Systems are endowed with some kind of intelligence. In the field of Computational Intelligence, the paradigm of Hybrid Intelligent Systems encompasses the most flexible definitions and constructions of systems fusing the most diverse approaches: evolutionary computation, neural networks and statistical classifiers, fuzzy systems and lattice computing, Hidden Markov Models, Formal Concept Analysis, ...
