Abstract :
The paper describes a conceptual and experimental framework which provides a general centralized/decentralized control architecture for the study of visual interactions between multiple mobile robots. Two examples of situations using this framework are presented: the first one studies interactions between robots in pursuit/evasion problems. The second one concerns decentralized, vision based, control strategies for handling a collaborative manipulation
