Robotics Basics - Group Robotics

Group robotics are considered a multi-agent system 20220209180627. Multi-agent systems in robotics are used because they can provide some advantages over using a single robot, like:

• More suitable to accomplish certain tasks, like covering an area.
• Provide redundancy
• Can decrease cost-effectiveness

Robotics multi-agent systems have, of course, the same problems as these system have, on top of some others like:

• Robots interfering in the real world together
• Physical constraints and problems

The usage on these systems of robot behaviors 20211217202757 can also produce the appearance of social behaviors on an emergent way 20210713103850.
