Application Area of Multiagent Systems - Modular Robotics

The main application area of multiagents systems, demonstrated in this article is the modular robot, a type of robotic system that is composed of many autonomous modules. The paper shows theoretical and design approaches to the solution of metamorphic service robots. It gives selected specific questions and problems connected with its design and construction. While various decentralized algorithms have been developed in the field of modular robotics, most approaches lack theoretical treatment; furthermore, most are specialized for particular tasks and dificult to generalize to other modular robot tasks or configurations. Theoretical understanding allows us to identify the scope of this approach and to further generalize it to a broader application area. [1]
