The Multi-Agent Coordination Research Group is part of one of the winning teams in the DARPA LANdroids program.
The idea is that soldiers moving through an urban environment would drop deck-of-card-sized robots periodically. These “LANdroids” would then move autonomously to create a communication network and reconfigure themselves to maintain a good network as the soldiers moved. […]
The CSC team led by USC/ISI received the DARPA COORDINATORS Phase II Champion’s plaque during the Phase III kick-off meeting.

Our CSC system, led by USC/ISI won the DARPA Phase 1 competition held on April, 2006 against teams led by Honeywell and SRI/CMU. The CSC system won in both the small and large scenario categories.
The Multi-Agent Coordination research group is part of the Distributed Scalable Systems Division of the Information Sciences Institute at the University of Southern California. Research focuses on coordination of autonomous agents, probabilistic reasoning, planning, scheduling and mixed-initiative frameworks.
