In Ch. 6, we have developed basic notions and propositions of rough mereogeometry and rough mereotopology. We have stressed that by its nature, rough mereology does address collective concepts, relations among which are expressed by partial containment rendered as the predicate of a part to a degree. Behavioral robotics falls into this province, as usually robots as well as obstacles and other environmental objects are modeled as figures or solids. In this chapter, we discuss planning and navigation problems for mobile autonomous robots and their formations. In particular, we give a formal definition of a robot formation based on the betweenness relation, cf., Ch. 6., sect. 10. First, we introduce the subject of planning in robotics.
