Simulated Multi-robot Tactical Missions in Urban Warfare

Since late 90’s of the last century, rapid advances in technology, mechanical engineering, miniaturization, telecommunications and informatics enabled development and routine deployment of sophisticated robots in many real world domains. Besides many applications in assembly industry, e.g., in car, or electronics assembly lines, defense organizations, together with space exploration and mining industries belong to the most demanding and optimistic users of robotic technology [25]. Especially in the military domain we nowadays witness a routine deployment of robotic assets in the field.
