Heterogeneous multi-robot systems are advantageous for operations in unknown environments because functionally specialised robots can gather environmental information, while others perform tasks. We de ne this decomposition as the scout–task robot architecture and show how it avoids the need to explicitly balance exploration and exploitation by permitting the system to do both simultaneously. The ...
