US researchers have developed a technique that allows robots to continue operating on the battlefield
This technique provides an effective methoddistribution of tasks between several robots, and in some cases they change their task if they are sent to the same territory. This can be unmanned search and rescue, robotic reconnaissance, perimeter surveillance, and the detection of physical phenomena such as radiation.
“Robots that work in teams needa method that will reinforce the tasks, even if they are not constantly received. When all robots communicate with each other, there are many methods that help the devices keep working. But when robots need constant coordination, then the military can use our method, "- said researchers from the University of Nebraska.
A new type of artificial muscle is similar to Italian pasta, but much stronger
Coordination of the robot is achieved by sharingtasks between devices and the fact that the robot remembers information for a long time. In this case, other robots can ask if the device will perform this task without having to communicate with the coordinator. If no signals come back, then he will not stop the previous task.
A robot that remembers a task is based ontopology of the wireless communication network and the geometric arrangement of the robots. Each robot is assigned a token representing a specific area for which they cache target locations.
