Cooperative Mobile Robots Using Fuzzy Algorithm

In recent years, lots of researches on autonomous mobile robot have been accomplished. However they focused on environment recognition and its processing to make a decision on the motion. And cooperative multy-robot, which must be able to avoid crash and to make mutual communication, has not been studied much. This paper deals whth cooperative motion of two robots, "Meari I" and "Meari 2" made in our laboratory, based on communication between the two. Because there is an interference on communication occurring in cooperative motion of multi-robot, many restrictive conditions are required. Therefore, lie have designed these robot system so that communication between them is available and mutual interference is precluded, and lie used fuzzy interference to overcome unstability of sensor data.
