Due to growing requirement of Industry 4.0 and general robotics infiltration into everyday life and industry applications, the adaptive heterogeneous multi-robot systems have become highly significant topic. While the adaptivity as a phenomena has not been researched for a long time in robotic systems, the organisational theory has analysed the adaptivity in long term, or viability, for several decades. ViaBots is organisational theory based framework for technical systems, that defines the functions that the system must fulfil to be viable. The goal of this paper is to present a design of the ViaBots model in case of heterogeneous multi-robot system, in particular, for an industrial assembly use-case.
