Abstract

This chapter presents a series of experiences and lessons learned during several implementations and real-world tests of ROS-based Multi-Robot Systems. It also describes, analyses and compares several ROS components relevant for these applications, taking into account the scenarios where they can be used. Also, some general issues of importance of Multi-Robot Systems on real-world, such as software and communications architectures, types of information shared are described in detail. Finally, the difficulties and specific challenges that arose when using a Multi-Robot Systems for any application will be discussed.
