Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for teaming in swarm intelligent robot sets. The method includes programming a multiplicity of robots in a multi-robot set with a particular locomotive model and assigning each of the robots to different individual tasks corresponding to different individual objectives of a problem based upon the particular locomotive model of the corresponding robots. The method additionally includes deploying the multi-robot set into a confined geographic area and surveilling each robot to ensure that each robot assigned to a corresponding task is achieving the assigned task. Finally, the method includes responding to one of the robots appearing to be unable to complete a corresponding assigned one of the tasks by selecting a different robot with a locomotive model considered compatible with the corresponding assigned one of the tasks to complete the corresponding assigned one of the tasks.
