The goal of the MARS project is to develop a framework and support tools for deploying multiple autonomous robots in an unstructured and unknown environment. Potential applications for the technologies being developed by the MARS project include reconnaissance, surveillance, target acquisition, and the removal of explosive ordnance. 
In ROCI, each robot is considered a node which contains several modules and may export different types of services and capabilities to other nodes. Each node runs a kernel that mediates the interactions of the robots in a team. This kernel keeps an updated database of all nodes and the functionalities that they export. Multi-robot applications can be built and changed dynamically, connecting modules that may be running in different nodes over the network. As an example, we present an obstacle avoidance task implemented using our framework and also discuss the use of ROCI in a multi-robot scenario.
