Abstract

Cooperative behavior is a central issue in distributed autonomous robot system (DARS). But, it has been discussed in case-dependent contexts. In this paper, we attempt to outlook cooperative behavior from viewpoint of the local and global coordination. Standing from the different point, basic methodologies are discussed.
