My PhD research focuses mainly on designing robot behaviours required by a group of robots generate and maintaining flexible formation to assist a human.
These behaviors of multi-robot or human-robot teams have to be achieved without central and on-line control. The formation has to achieved without explicit communication and therefore can be still applicable when communication links are severed. The generated global behaviour is relatively independent of the number of robots in the group, making the system robust to failures of individual robots.
Many applications can benefit from the collaboration of a human and a group of robots. The GUARDIANS project uses a group of robots to assist a fire-fighter in the case of heavy smoke in big warehouses, as is the case for example with IKEA.
