Abstract
A super-mechano colony (SMC) is a multirobot system comprising a mother ship and numerous child robots. The key concept of an SMC is to introduce centralized features to distributed autonomous robotic systems. In this presentation, a new control method is described and examined for an SMC to autonomously perform effective object retrieval missions utilizing these centralized features.
