Cooperative manipulation is a critical issue in the field of mobile robotics. The Colony Project is interested in understanding how principles of robotic manipulation apply to a colony of low-cost robots. In situations where multiple robots cooperate, sensor data can be shared, improving the collective intelligence of the colony. We will investigate how cooperating robotic agents utilize shared sensor data and coordinate to efficiently manipulate objects in their environment. In doing so, we seek build a platform for cooperative manipulation applications.
