Popis: The authors report on a new research project on cooperative robots, which is particularly suited to student participation. The research on cooperative robot systems of the Combat Systems section is still at a preliminary stage. A system for the determination of the relative position of robots hasalready been built and tested. With this system, together with computer simulations it will be possible to test many scenarios and principles quickly and without the need for expensive devices. Next, the focus of this research project will shift to the formation of ad hoc networks of cooperating robots and to technologies to share non-compatible information (from different sensors) between robots. At the same time we must implement methods to share a common model of the environment between robots that participate in ad hoc networks.
