Abstract :
We present a Cellular Neural Network (CNN) model in which cells are constituted by autonomous robots implementing some standard templates. The system can be interpreted as a multi-core processor acting on the robot environment, being each robot one of the cores. This is a particular case of robot swarm which benefits from the simplicity of the CNN template implementation.
