Abstract :
Addresses generation of observation behaviors considering various combinations of robotic units. Toward the recognition of group robots, integration of sensing information among robots and autonomous positioning for acquiring better sensing information are required. In the paper, an architecture of recognition and integration based on mappings which are obtained through learning is proposed and a method of autonomous positioning for acquiring better sensing information is also proposed. The results of numerical simulation suggest that robots are capable of generating observation behaviors in order to decrease sensing errors
