Objective:

This DARPA-funded project is concerned with the control and tasking of multiple heterogeneous robots, each with fundamental sensing, navigation and locomotion capabilities. It utilizes a diverse team of robots to accomplish group-oriented tasks including map building, reconnaissance, surveillance, and the establishment of an adaptive point-to-point communications network.
