The Multi-Agent-based Search and Rescue System in ROS is a robotics framework that leverages ROS for deploying multiple autonomous agents to perform coordinated search and rescue operations. Each agent uses onboard sensors and ROS topics for real-time mapping, obstacle avoidance, and target detection. A central coordinator assigns tasks dynamically based on agent status and environment feedback. The system can be run in Gazebo or on actual robots, enabling researchers and developers to test and refine multi-robot cooperation, communication protocols, and adaptive mission planning under realistic conditions.

The Multi Agent Robotic System project offers a modular Python-based platform for developing, simulating, and deploying cooperative robotic teams. At its core, it implements decentralized control strategies, enabling robots to share state information and collaboratively allocate tasks without a central coordinator. The system includes built-in modules for path planning, collision avoidance, environment mapping, and dynamic task scheduling. Developers can integrate new algorithms by extending provided interfaces, adjust communication protocols via configuration files, and visualize robot interactions in simulated environments. Compatible with ROS, it supports seamless transitions from simulation to real-world hardware deployments. This framework accelerates research by providing reusable components for swarm behavior, collaborative exploration, and warehouse automation experiments.

CASA is designed as a modular, plug-and-play autonomy framework built on the Robot Operating System (ROS) ecosystem. It features a decentralized architecture where each robot runs local planners and behavior tree nodes, publishing to a shared blackboard for world-state updates. Task allocation is handled via auction-based algorithms that assign missions based on robot capabilities and availability. The communication layer uses standard ROS messages over multirobot networks to synchronize agents. Developers can customize mission parameters, integrate sensor drivers, and extend behavior libraries. CASA supports scenario simulation, real-time monitoring, and logging tools. Its extensible design allows research teams to experiment with novel coordination algorithms and deploy seamlessly on diverse robotic platforms, from unmanned ground vehicles to aerial drones.
