RECONFIGURABLE ROBOT NETWORK

摘要

Methods and systems consistent with the invention provide a robot network (100) that can optimally reconfigure the control logic on-board each robot (120a-120d) of the network (100) on a real-time basis. Each robot (120a-120d) of the network (100) performs an assigned task according to a control logic. While performing the assigned task, each robot (120a-120d) transmits performance data defining a fitness level of the robots (120a-120d) for achieving the assigned task. A set of the plurality of robots (120a-120d) , is then selected based on the performance data transmitted by each robot (120a-120d), and the control logic of the selected set of robots (120a-120d) is then sent to the other robots (120a-120d) in the network. The robots (120a-120d) that receive the control logic then optimize their control logic by producing a new control logic based on the received control logic.
