摘要:The article presents the main functionalities and principlesfor operating a software for multi-robotic missioncoordination developed for competitions ERL EmergencyRobots 2017, as well as its adaptation during UniversityRover Challenge. We have started with an overview ofsimilar software used in commercial applications ordeveloped by other research groups. Then, our solutionis thoroughly described, with its user interface made inLabVIEW and the communication layer based on ROSsoftware. Two cases of robotic competitions provedour software to be useful both for planning and formanaging the mission. The system supports the operatorin teleoperation and during partial autonomy of therobots. It offers reporting on the robots’ positions, Pointsof Interest (POI), tasks status. Reports are generated inKML/KMZ formats, and allow us to replay the mission,and analyze it.
