Hitchhiking Robots: A Collaborative Approach for Efficient Multi-Robot Navigation in Indoor Environments

Sensors, 2017
Hitchhiking is a means of transportation gained by asking other people for a (free) ride. We developed a multi-robot system which is the first of its kind to incorporate hitchhiking in robotics, and discuss its advantages.

Collision Avoidance in Multi-Robot Systems

2007 International Conference on Mechatronics and Automation, 2007
Multi-robot systems have been widely applied to various applications to perform a given task collaboratively and cooperatively. In a multi-robot environment, path-planning or collision avoidance is an important problem. This paper tackles this important but challenging problem. We developed a step-forward approach for collision avoidance in multi-robot
