Coordination of multiple mobile robots via communication
نویسندگان
چکیده
Research on the co-ordination of multiple mobile robots has to address three main problems: (i) how to appropriately divide the functionality of the system into multiple robots, (ii) how to manage the dynamic configuration of the system, and (iii) how to realise co-operation behaviour. This paper will concentrate on the third aspect. More specifically, the aim of our research is to develop a team of coordinating mobile robots via effective communication for real world applications. We will describe the methodology to achieve co-operative behaviour, the experimental mobile robots developed, and potential application areas. The developed system is demonstrated by two examples such as flocking and shared experience learning.

Control and Coordination of Multiple Mobile Robots in Manipulation and Material Handling Tasks
We describe a framework and control algorithms for coordinating multiple mobile robots with manipulators focusing on tasks that require grasping, manipulation, and transporting large and possibly exible objects without special purpose xtures. Because each robot has an independent controller and is autonomous, the coordination and synergy are realized through sensing and communication. The robot...
متن کاملNavigating Multiple Mobile Robots without Direct Communication
A bulk of research is being done for the autonomous navigation of a mobile robot. Multi-robot motion planning techniques often assume a direct communication amongst the robots, which makes them practically unusable. Similarly approaches assuming the robot moving amidst humans assume cooperation of humans which may not be the case if the human is replaced by a robot. In this paper a deliberative...
متن کاملControl of Wheeled Mobile Manipulators with Flexible Suspension Considering Wheels Slip Effects
Wheeled mobile manipulators utilize both the locomotion capabilities of the wheeled platform and manipulation capacity of the arm. While the modelling and control of such systems have previously been studied, most of them have considered robots with rigid suspension and their wheels are subject to pure rolling conditions. To relax the aforementioned limiting assumptions, this research addresses...
متن کاملCoordination of Multiple Mobile Robots in an Object Carrying Task using Implicit Communication
This paper addresses the problem of coordinating multiple mobile robots in a tightly coupled task by means of implicit communication. This approach allows the development of controllers that do not depend on any explicit data flow between the robots, thus relying only on local sensor information. A box-carrying task is used to validate the proposed methodology both in simulation and in real-wor...
متن کاملReal Time Movement Cooredination Technique Based on Flocking Behaviour for Multiple Mobile Robots System
The emergent behaviour of a multiagent system depends on the component agents and how they interact. A critical part of interaction between agents is communication. This paper presents a multi-agent communication model for physical moving agents, robots. The scope of the paper emphasises the interaction relationships between individual components in multi-agents system that results in economica...
