Design and Implementation of Multiple Autonomous Robots' Cooperative Behavior Based on Modest Cooperation

In this paper, the authors present a concept on cooperation among autonomous mobile robots and describe how to adopt the concept to real robots.At construction site, the use of autonomous mobile robots is very important. Robots are used for conveying materials or assembling. While constructing, several mobile robots have to share the same work space. For this reason, an architecture for cooperation of autonomous mobile robots must be considered. The concept of “modest cooperation” is proposed by the authors as a principle of cooperation behaviour by multiple autonomous mobile robots.The implementation and experiment of the cooperative behaviour of real robots based on proposed concept is presented in this paper.
