Issues include fault detection, identification and rectification as well as routine servicing. The cooperative autonomous robot colony architecture (CARC) demonstrates a coherent resolution strategy that enables near optimal physical graceful degradation on a su...

This article shows that neither literature nor historical studies have focused their attention on it. The focus is always on colonial heritage, geography or racial mixture.
