  Network Multi Robot System

NM-RS “Networked Multi-Robot System” : european research project to realise an interoperable simulation environment simulation framework with open architecture and plug-n-play capability to integrate other and further, detailed robotic relevant software modules. It will deliver an integral framework to simulate multi-robot tasks and missions to save costs before testing with real hardware equipment. NM-RS addresses first the simulation framework for such an autonomous behaving group of unmanned ground vehicle systems to understand the necessary modules (i.e., sensors, navigation, coordination, Man-Machine-Interface, etc..) design and interactions for emerging autonomous functionalities under the control of an operator. In a second step, this will lead to a more effective hardware design without the necessity to always test technological implementations only in real hardware (which will be costs driving).
This project NM-RS consistently focuses on robot groups to reduce the risk of personal damage or loss of life and to increase efficiency for military operations like reconnaissance, inspection and se-curity.
NM-RS will demonstrate via simulation the benefits of networked multi-robot systems performing autonomously coordinated operations. On top of guidance, navigation, control and multi-robot co-ordination, sensor systems, communication and human-machine-interface as well as command & control machine interface aspects will be considered.
