Modelling and Controlling of Behaviour for Autonomous Mobile Robots

As research progresses, it enables multi-robot systems to be used in more and more complex and dynamic scenarios. Hence, the question arises how different modelling and reasoning paradigms can be utilised to describe the intended behaviour of a team and e

Acknowledgements I would like to thank my doctoral advisor Kurt Geihs for the amazing atmosphere he created at the Distributed Systems Group at the University of Kassel. The freedom to pursue our ideas and the friendly spirit are what makes this place so special. I would also like to thank my second supervisor, Alexander Kleiner, for the time he invested and his very helpful suggestions. The people who influenced this work the most are Roland Reichle and Philipp Baer, who successfully completed the incredible challenge of founding a RoboCup Middle-Size team before I started work in Kassel. Without them, this work would not have been possible
