This work presents an architecture that can help to increase the reliability in groups of cooperative mobile robots by taking advantage of analytical and sensor redundancy. First, the design of the architecture is portrayed ...

In this work, an approach based on task-priority redundancy resolution and sliding mode ideas is proposed for robot coordination. In particular, equality and inequality constraints representing the coordination of the ...

Mobile robot systems are being used more often in tasks that protect human operators from dangerous environments, but these benefits can be easily lost if the robots spend much of their time being repaired. This implies ...

This paper describes an ongoing project to move a simple humanoid robot, without an advanced embedded electronics. We used another wheeled mobile robot which already has a locating system and is equipped with a camera. We ...

Gaze direction determination can be a powerful anticipatory perceptual mechanism for determining the next action of other individuals, humans or robots. It can allow cooperation, synchronization or competition between robots. ...

Robotic applications are highlighted in several areas, especially those that consider multi-robot systems, in which multiple mobile robots are able to develop a task in an autonomous and cooperative way. In this context, ...
