Abstract
We study conflicts in a team of robots. The domain of our study has a limited ontology, within which we define when an autonomously performing robot has intentions. Goal finding and obstacle avoidance are the main drives behind the intentions. The intentions are the basis of the interaction within a team, and have a considerable impact on the overall performance of the team. The main aim of the study is to get a hold on the team behaviour that emerges from these conflicts. We discuss and define intentions of robot agents and evaluate the team behaviour of congenial teams, that is teams of agents with the same intentions. Typical behaviours are: dispersing behaviour in avoiding teams and clustering behaviour in antagonistic teams.
