Programming cooperative tasks for autonomous swarm robotic systems has always been challenging. In this paper, we introduce a concept ‘Actor’, as a virtualization for robot platforms. Every robot platform in the swarm robotic system carries out the task and interacts with others as an Actor. We designed an Actor-based framework for the management of autonomous swarm robotic systems including modul...
