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.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed Systems, apparatus, and methods to propagate a robot swarm using virtual partitions are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a transceiver to broadcast the availability of the apparatus to host one or more bots from a swarm of bots and to receive a copy request from a bot in the swarm of bots. The example apparatus also includes an evaluator to evaluate instructions from the bot and determine if the apparatus is equipped to propagate the bot. In addition, the example apparatus includes a virtual partition to provide an interface for executing a copy of the bot.

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