A multi-robot coordination system based on RFID technology

This paper presents a novel approach for multi-robot coordination based both on coordinated navigation and task allocation method.The proposed approach exploits RFID technology for implementing a context aware information system which is the base of the coordination strategies; it has extremely low requirements in terms of computational power and does not require direct robot-robot communication.Moreover, an ad hoc agent based control architecture is defined to implement the proposed coordination mechanisms on robots in both simulation and real applications
