Abstract :
This paper presents the design and fabrication of a team of robots. A colony of physical robots consisting of four robots were built in order to test concepts in multi-agent systems. These robots are mobile, autonomous and self-powered, capable of manipulating objects. The physical structure, the control system, and the sensing and action of these robots are described in this paper
