Rule-Based Control Of Collaborative Robots

In this paper, we focus our attention on the simple and low-cost collaborative robots that only react to the local situations. Robots behavior is based on very simple rules. System models are presented including target model, sensor model, dynamic model and control model. Collaborative robots are defined to move freely. Simulations have been run under different robots configurations. Simulation results show that the robots can perform the collaborative mission collectively and properly with primitive sensors. © 2006 IEEE
