AB - Robots will be used under rapidly changing and highly dangerous circumstancessuch as rescue operations in a radioactive environment or a fire as well as militaryoperations. The robots are sent to several targets in order to carry out varioustasks.The robots we are considering here are able to send and receive messages toand from each other as well as solve nonlinear assignment problems. When therobot salvo is en-route to their targets several events may happen. A number of co-operative robots may get jammed as a consequence of disturbances. Some robotsmay already have reached their targets. Some robots may not be able to reachall targets. The system being investigated enables the surviving robots to worktogether in real time and change their pre-set tasks if necessary in order to maximizetheir effectiveness. In this paper we present a method which solves the reallocationproblem using a piecewise linear network algorithm. Experimental results up to 493targets and 500 robots show that the reallocation of the robots can be done in realtime.
