In a recent work we presented Khe-DeLP, a layered framework for developing multi-robot applications with Khepera 2 robots. This framework facilitates the implementation of cognitive robotic tools and provides Defeasible Logic Programming for describing the robot’s behavior. Here, we will describe current  extensions of that work, and we will show how to program the robot’s behavior using argumentative reasoning. In contrast with other approaches that focus on reactive components of the robot’s behavior, our work focusses on implementing the robot’s high-level deliberative processes, such as decision making. Thus, we will show how to use the facilities provided by Khe-DeLP in order to deal with decision problems.
