When communication lines are open, individual agents such as robots or drones can work together to collaborate and complete a task. But what if they aren't equipped with the right hardware or the signals are blocked, making communication impossible?
"It's easier when agents can talk to each other," said Huy Tran, an aerospace engineer at Illinois. "But we wanted to do this in a way that's decentralized, meaning that they don't talk to each other.

The Omnid Mocobots: New mobile robots for safe and effective collaboration
Teams of mobile robots could be highly effective in helping humans to complete straining manual tasks, such as manufacturing processes or the transportation of heavy objects.
"The Center for Robotics and Biosystems has a long history building robots that collaborate physically with humans," Matthew Elwin, one of the researchers who carried out the study, told TechXplore. "In fact, the term 'cobots' was coined here.
Trying to envision this being accomplished in the present age of social media. "The #MontrealProtocol is part of th… https://t.co/7RXV2yJy6E noUpside Wed Jul 20 15:52:06 +0000 2022
