A controller including a processor configured to obtain a message from a task performing agent of a group of task performing agents allocated to a plurality of tasks, wherein the message comprises information about one or more assessments of the task performing agent, wherein the one or more assessments are based on a sensing process performed by one or more sensors of the task performing agent, wherein the task performing agent is an autonomous machine or a human agent equipped with sensors; and allocate a task of the plurality of tasks to the task performing agent, based on the information and based on whether the task performing agent is an autonomous machine or a human agent.

Autonomous machine collaboration

Various methods and devices for positioning autonomous agents including verifying a reported agent location using physical attributes of the received signal; improving agent formation for iterative localization; selecting agents for distributed task sharing; intelligent beacon-placement for group localization; relative heading and orientation determination utilizing time of flight; and secure Instrument Landing System (ILS) implementation for unmanned agents.

Unmanned vehicle positioning, positioning-based methods and devices therefor

An apparatus comprises at least one sensor to collect localization information indicating a location of a first robotic agent of a plurality of robotic agents; and a processor comprising circuitry. The processor is to cause the first robotic agent to move and to utilize the at least one sensor and other robotic agents of the plurality of robotic agents to determine the location of the first robotic agent during a first period of time in which the first robotic agent is not selected as an anchor reference point; and cause the first robotic agent to remain stationary during a second period of time in which the first robotic agent is selected as an anchor reference point to assist other robotic agents of the plurality of robotic agents in location determination.
