Design and Development of Multiple Mobile Manipulator Robots using Gazebo-ROS

In this paper, multiple mobile manipulators are designed for handshaking system on Robot Operating System (ROS). The mobile manipulator is a robotic manipulator arm mounted on a mobile platform. The Festo Robotino mobile platform is equipped with a robotic arm manipulator in order to extend the task of delivering goods and offers enhanced flexibility and agility, increasing the arm manipulator workspace by using the mobility of Festo Robotino. ROS is powerful tools that can be used in the field of robotics and Graphical User Interface (GUI) development. The Gazebo-ROS can be used to verify the coordination protocol of multiple mobile manipulator robots. Furthermore, several simulation and experimental results have shown the effectiveness of the designed multiple mobile manipulator robots
