Abstract
This paper introduces a management system for robot groups with “holonic architecture” which is one of distributed and hierarchical system architectures. In order to manage collaboration of many robots, we put sub-management system on each work sub-space. A management system on a subspace divides a task given by upper space into some sub-tasks and gives lower sub-spaces those sub-tasks. With this architecture we obtain distributed and hierarchical management system for the whole work space. We made a demonstration system and showed an example of task division and execution.
