Abstract:
In recent years, there has been a great research interest in cooperative mobile robotics. An advancement in industrial technology has seen the need for distributed applications in robotic systems where teams of robots are required to solve tasks intelligently and efficiently. Heterogeneity in robot teams adds complexity to a cooperative system since each member in the team varies in capability which determines its task abilities. The objective of this research paper is to introduce the use of a machine learning system to facilitate cooperation in multi--robot teams. Tests were performed and simulated for mobile robot cooperation in a material handling application during bottleneck conditions.
