Abstract
The ultimate goal of this research is to study information system, cooperation strategies, and behaviors required by a group of cooperative behavior based mobile robots for handling an object with unknown mass and center of gravity. In this paper, a distributed cooperation strategy, sensory system, and a behavior based robot controller for lifting up and lowering down the object are introduced. Also, some simulation and experimental results of implementing the developed cooperation protocol in a group of fork lifting robots are presented. The results shows that, without having explicit communication among robots, the system shows robustness under external disturbances and failure in some of the cooperative robots. The hardware of robot system is also introduced.
