Abstract

In this paper, we propose a device for cooperation of multiple autonomous mobile robots. A device which enables local communication, named intelligent data carrier (IDC), is proposed. In this paper, we propose an algorithm to improve efficiency of iterative transportation tasks by autonomous mobile robots. An autonomous mobile robot gives name of its latest visited destination to an IDC which is located on a junction in a work area. An IDC summarizes the information from robots and tells a direction that it effects best way to a destination which a robot wants to go. By the proposed algorithm and system, mobile robots construct information of navigation and improve the efficiency of a task automatically. We verified the effect of the proposed algorithm by simulations and experiments.
