Abstract
The article aims to present a new concept in mobile robotics – swarm robotics. It gives an overview of related research in coordination of mobile robots in a group and presents recent research activities in swarm robotics at the Institute of Informatics SAS. The architecture and development of a distributed multi-agent system for area coverage tasks are introduced.
