“…The study of multi-robot systems covers design, control, and implementation of a team of multiple robots [17], [18], [19]; this research field started in the early 2000s and is still actively being studied. Especially from early 2010 to the present, the study of multi-robot systems has made rapid progress; it has become easier to create and control many robots due to the development of open source software and the Robot Operating System (ROS) [20], the miniaturization and dissemination of robot hardware [21], and the development of communication technologies [22].…”

Multi-robot systems are made up of a team of multiple robots, which provides the advantage of performing complex tasks with high efficiency, flexibility, and robustness. Although research on human-robot interaction is ongoing as robots become more readily available and easier to use, the study of interactions between a human and multiple robots represents a relatively new field of research. In particular, how multi-robots could be used for everyday users has not been extensively explored. Additionally, the impact of the characteristics of multiple robots on human perception and cognition in human multi-robot interaction should be further explored. In this paper, we specifically focus on the benefits of physical affordances generated by the movements of multirobots, and investigate the effects of deictic movements of multirobots on information retrieval by conducting a delayed free recall task.

“…The box-pushing problem has become synonymous with MRS and it has been studied in several early works [49]- [51]. In one of these works, namely that by Brown and Jennings [52], the authors implement a pusher/steerer system where the object is moved from one place to another by small mobile robots.…”

Literature reviews on Multi-Robot Systems (MRS) typically focus on fundamental technical aspects, like coordination and communication, that need to be considered in order to coordinate a team of robots to perform a given task effectively and efficiently. Other reviews only consider works that aim to address a specific problem or one particular application of MRS. In contrast, this paper presents a survey of recent research works on MRS and categorises them according to their application domain. Furthermore, this paper compiles a number of seminal review works that have proposed specific taxonomies in classifying fundamental concepts, such as coordination, architecture and communication, in the field of MRS.

“…To accomplish this, a remote sensor is used to determine the position of the robots, objects, obstacles, and the structure of the environment [e.g. 2,22]. However, for field robot operation, such a sensor is not likely to be available.…”

We present a field study of police SWAT teams for the purpose of enabling grounded design of a system to coordinate distributed field robots. The mission-oriented, spatially distributed SWAT environment provides a rich resource for robotics designers that mirrors field robot deployments in key ways. We highlight the processes with which SWAT team leaders create and maintain common ground among team members and coordinate action in these tightly-coupled, distributed teams. We present a system for coordinating distributed robots that we designed based on our SWAT team observations.
