On the development of a cooperative work strategy - carrying a box with mutual communication and image data

This paper describes an architecture of realizing an intelligent robots system. First, a multiple robots system is abstracted as an intelligent mechanical system and an architecture of the system is proposed for realizing various intelligent work. The architecture is then applied to a two mobile robots system, and a method of conveying a box in a cooperative way is shown with experimental results.
