Intelligent management of a group of transport underwater robots using a coordinator robot

The article is dedicated to solving the problem of using a group of transport underwater robots in an uncertain ecological environment by implementing an intelligent robot-coordinator into the group. When performing tasks by a group of underwater mobile robots, there is a need for fast and accurate coordination of the group's movement on a given route so that each transport robot in the group receives as much information as possible about the change in parameters of the group of transport robots and the surrounding environment, and can react to the appearance of dynamic obstacles together with the entire group, without violating the group order and not creating emergency situations with objects of the surrounding environment. Based on the research results, it is proposed to use an intelligent robotcoordinator, which has the ability to coordinate the actions of the group, perform analysis and processing of situations, which minimizes the intervention of a human operator and allows the robot-coordinator to learn new scenarios for processing situations, turning them from problematic to working using the model of analysis and processing of situations by the robotcoordinator, for accident-free management of the group of transport underwater robots.
