We achieve this by anticipating the intentions and actions of others, and adapting our own actions to them accordingly. In contrast, most multi-robot systems rely on extensive communication to exchange their intentions. This paper describes the joint approach of our two research groups to enable a heterogeneous team of robots to coordinate \emph{implicitly}, without negotiation. We apply implicit coordination to a typical coordination task from robotic soccer: regaining ball possession. We discuss the benefits and drawbacks of implicit coordination, and evaluate it by conducting several experiments with our robotic soccer teams.}, bib2html_pubtype = {Refereed Conference Paper}, bib2html_rescat = {Implicit Coordination in Teams of Robots} }
