A system of self-organizing mobile robotic agents (MRAs) in a multi-robotic system
(MRS) is disclosed. MRAs cooperate, learn and interact with the environment. The
system uses various AI technologies including genetic algorithms, genetic programming
and evolving artificial neural networks to develop emergent dynamic behaviors.
The collective behaviors of autonomous intelligent robotic agents are applied to
numerous applications. The system uses hybrid control architectures. The system
also develops dynamic coalitions of groups of autonomous MRAs for formation and
reformation in order to perform complex tasks.
