Abstract
Included is a method for collaboration between a first robotic chassis and a second robotic chassis, including: executing, with the processor of the first robotic chassis, a first part of a task; transmitting, with the processor of the first robotic chassis, a signal to a processor of the second robotic chassis upon completion of the first part of the task; and executing, with the processor of the second robotic chassis, a second part of the task upon receiving the signal transmitted from the processor of the first robotic chassis; wherein the first robotic chassis and the second robotic chassis provide differing services.
