This paper reports a new hierarchical architecture for modeling autonomous multi-robot systems (MRSs): a nonlinear dynamical opinion process is used to model high-level group choice, and multi-objective behavior optimization is used to model individual decisions. Using previously reported theoretical results, we show it is possible to design the behavior of the MRS by the selection of a relatively...
