  • Abstract
    The purpose of this research is to design and build a collective robot system with communication between the individual robots and a supervisor robot. This project examines the possibility of adding one or more robots to the group and reconfiguring the new group to maintain task completion and increase efficiency. First, the project standardizes the communication process and make messaging more reliable and efficient. Next, the work focuses on the discrete-event modeling of the robotic community and investigates the implementation of model-based designs for the community´s supervision.
