Robots are developing in much the same way that personal computers did 40 years ago, and robot operating system\nis the critical basis. Current robot software is mainly designed for individual robots. We present in this paper the design\nof micROS, a morphable, intelligent and collective robot operating system for future collective and collaborative\nrobots. We first present the architecture of micROS, including the distributed architecture for collective robot system\nas a whole and the layered architecture for every single node. We then present the design of autonomous behavior\nmanagement based on the observeââ?¬â??orientââ?¬â??decideââ?¬â??act cognitive behavior model and the design of collective intelligence\nincluding collective perception, collective cognition, collective game and collective dynamics. We also give\nthe design of morphable resource management, which first categorizes robot resources into physical, information,\ncognitive and social domains, and then achieve morphability based on self-adaptive software technology. We finally\ndeploy micROS on NuBot football robots and achieve significant improvement in real-time performance.
