Abstract
We describe a new prototype task, emergency handling,for multi-robot coordination. The experiments reportedhere measure the effects of individualism and opportunismin a physically-implemented multi-robot system.We use sound at multiple frequencies to simulateemergencies by producing several locally-sensable gradientsin the environment. Our results show that opportunismaffords a significant performance improvementover individualism. Our experiments also demonstratethe viability of sound ...Keywords
