1P1-A8 Searching for the Target Objects and Cooperative Conveyance in Super-Mechano System

This paper deals with the Super-Mechano-Colony (SMC) which consists of a parent robot and children robots. First, we discussed a subject that they gather objects distributed in a field. The computer simulation examined the effective gathering ways from the point of energy dissipation. Second, we discussed cooperative conveyance with a teaser unit. The mechanism to fasten an object with the teaser unit was proposed and the cooperative actions by the children robots were also discussed.
