This study addresses the use of state based approach to model the complex systems that are employed to perform tightly coupled tasks in an unknown environment. The proposed state based model represents the entire behavior of the complex system by a global state machine or Augmented Finite state machines, which describes the complete intra-object behavior of the system. The methods to model and implement the state machines in the MATLAB-simulink/State flow environment are also addressed in this paper. Further, performance of the modeling approach is investigated through simulation studies by considering the multi-robot formation combined with navigation and role switching and are addressed in this study. The simulation result suggests that the state based model and simulation based on Stateflow could be a viable method to model mutli-domain systems such as the highly complex robotic systems with visualization, performance and formalism. © 2012 Asian Network for Scientific Information. date: 2012 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84872300342&doi=10.3923%2fjas.2012.2494.2502&partnerID=40&md5=8241042b79aee988214b723b016533d1 id_number: 10.3923/jas.2012.2494.2502 full_text_status: none publication: Journal of Applied Sciences volume: 12 number: 24 pagerange: 2494-2502 refereed: TRUE issn: 18125654 citation: Kuppan Chetty, R.M. and Nagarajan, T. and Karsiti, N.B. and Singaperumal, M.
