Abstract
The robots in automation may be used to serve their surrounding equipment such as transporting, loading, and unloading simple objects. For some tasks, two or more robots working together may be required to achieve the assigned goals. In this situation, coordination of the robots for a concerted action becomes a necessity. In addition, the joint torque distribution among the robots is desirable to avoid overloading.
