Federated Single-Agent Robotics: Multi-Robot Coordination Without Intra-Robot Multi-Agent Fragmentation
As embodied robots move toward fleet-scale operation, multi-robot coordination is becoming a central systems challenge. Existing approaches often treat this as motivation for increasing internal multi-agent decomposition within each robot. We argue for a different principle: multi-robot coordination does not require intra-robot multi-agent fragmentation. Each robot should remain a single embodied agent with its own persistent runtime, local policy scope, capability state, and recovery authority, while coordination emerges through federation across robots at the fleet level. We present Federated Single-Agent Robotics (FSAR), a runtime architecture for multi-robot coordination built on sing...
