SentryBot
An autonomous, co-operative multi-robot system for security and surveillance. Sentry Bots are teams of autonomous mobile security robots which can be seamlessly integrated into existing security systems. These mobile security robots are able to navigate autonomously and are energy-independent, since they are able to recharge their batteries without any user interference. The robot team is self-organizing and will provide an intuitive interface via voice control in the future.
