Abstract
In multi-robot systems unexpected situations occur frequently, and cause failures of robots performing tasks. Mechanisms for automation of failure handling and recovery (if possible) are proposed. They are based on general protocols similar to the well known standard WS-TX for business transactions. The protocols and mechanisms are implemented in the prototype Autero system as a software platform for accomplishing complex tasks in open and heterogeneous multi-robot systems.
