Modular robots represent a perfect application scenario for multiagent coordination.

The key idea in TOTA is to rely on spatially distributed tuples, spread across the robot, to guide the agents' activities in moving and reshaping the robot.

Abstract
Modular robots represent a perfect application scenario for multiagent coordination. The autonomous modules com- posing the robot must coordinate their respective activities to enforce a specic global shape or a coherent motion gait. Here we show how the TOTA (\Tuples On The Air") mid- dleware can be eectively exploited to support agents' co- ordination in this context. The key idea in TOTA is to rely on spatially distributed tuples, spread across the robot, to guide the agents' activities in moving and reshaping the robot. Three simulated examples are presented to support our claims.
