    Abstract: Systems, apparatus, and methods to coordinate a robot swarm are disclosed. An example system includes an analyzer to create a planning message based on data associated with a first bot and a second bot, the planning message to be communicated to the swarm from a first source. In addition, the example system includes a scheduler to issue a first assignment of a first operation slot and a first role to the first bot based on the planning message, issue a second assignment of a second operation slot and a second role to the second bot based on the planning message, and create a decision message including the first assignment and the second assignment. The decision message is to be communicated to the swarm from a second source different than the first source.

    Abstract: An apparatus comprises at least one sensor to collect localization information indicating a location of a first robotic agent of a plurality of robotic agents; and a processor comprising circuitry. The processor is to cause the first robotic agent to move and to utilize the at least one sensor and other robotic agents of the plurality of robotic agents to determine the location of the first robotic agent during a first period of time in which the first robotic agent is not selected as an anchor reference point; and cause the first robotic agent to remain stationary during a second period of time in which the first robotic agent is selected as an anchor reference point to assist other robotic agents of the plurality of robotic agents in location determination.
