4. Applications

This final section presents some industrial and academic examples of multi-robot systems. These examples have been chosen for their technological or commercial success, or both. It should be noted that the centralized approach is generally the preferred solution for industrial applications. As production sites are generally already equipped with a supervisory system, manufacturers of robotic systems interface with or complement the existing supervisor. The advantage is that mobile robots can be synchronized with other machines on site. For the supervisory operator, it's also easier to carry out a global analysis of the production site.
