QUEUE COORDINATION STRATEGY BASED ON LOCAL SENSING IN DISTRIBUTED MULTIPLE MOBILE ROBOT SYSTEMS

摘要

In multiple mobile robot systems, interference will increase exponentially with the increase of the number of robots, even deadlock will occur. This paper proposes a queue coordination strategy based on local sensing. Experiments are done to verify the efficiency of the strategy by simulation, in the task of foraging. The result shows that the strategy can decrease interferences, avoid deadlocks, and improve the whole performance remarkably.
