Motion planning of multiple robots using dynamic groups

The concept of groups in motion planning of multiple mobile robots is proposed. The groups are classified into static groups and dynamic groups. A grouping algorithm is implemented using the virtual impedance method. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by simulations.<<ETX>>
