Collective Behavior Strategy Development Based On Friendship of Robots

This paper considers a group of autonomous robots performing collective tasks in an conflict environment. The Robots jointly generate situational awareness information. The functions and resources of robots are represented as external services. The robot can request and receive help as the services from other robots and provide its own services for automatically using by other robots via online requests when needed. Unlike the existing solutions it has been proposed to implement a new paradigm of robots' collective behavior, the so-called "the friendship of robots". This paradigm is seen as a new property of robot autonomous control systems that is formed through training. Such approach realizes the principle of collectivism. Robots have been trained in the friendship paradigm are more effective in a conflict environment. The constructing the strategy of robot trained in the paradigm "pragmatist" is given as the example.
