Co4Robots

Project overview

Co4Robots addresses the challenge of coordinating diverse robots in an environment where multiple models perform a variety of tasks. The project aims to create a multi-robot system capable of interconnecting and controlling heterogeneous robots in dynamically changing environments. By decentralizing control and coordination, robots will interact with each other and with humans effectively. For example, if one robot fails a task, another can step in to assist, saving time and optimizing resources. Integration into a multi-robot system will be key, even if different developers create each robot.

Our Role

PAL Robotics played a key role in Co4Robots, an ambitious European project aimed at enabling seamless multi-robot collaboration in dynamic environments. Our focus was on ensuring interoperability, developing decentralized control mechanisms, and integrating our robots into a network where diverse robotic platforms could efficiently cooperate and adapt to real-time challenges.

By contributing TIAGo and TIAGo Base, PAL Robotics helped establish a standardized framework for robotic coordination in industrial and service settings. Through fault-tolerant mechanisms and intelligent task distribution, the project paved the way for robots that can self-organize, assist one another, and interact naturally with humans—whether in factories, warehouses, or healthcare environments.

Key responsibilities

  • Integrating PAL Robotics’ technology into the multi-robot system for seamless interaction.
  • Developing decentralized control algorithms for effective task execution.
  • Ensuring interoperability between PAL Robotics’ robots and others.
  • Implementing fault tolerance mechanisms for task adaptation.
  • Collaborating with other developers for system compatibility.
  • Validating system reliability and performance.
  • Documenting integration and sharing best practices for advancements in multi-robot coordination.
