This paper presents a brief survey of robotic caging and its applications. Caging is a kind of
grasping methods, which can be accomplished geometrically by position-controlled robotic …

Swarm Robotics (SR) is an extension of the study of Multi-Robot Systems that exploits
concepts of communication, coordination and collaboration among a large number of robots …

This paper proposes a strategy for transporting a large object to a goal using a large number
of mobile robots that are significantly smaller than the object. The robots only push the object …

This paper addresses the problem of transporting objects with multiple mobile robots using
the concept of object closure. In contrast to other manipulation techniques that are typically …

In this paper, the problem of object caging and transporting is considered for multiple mobile
robots. With the consideration of minimizing the number of robots and decreasing the …

This paper addresses the problem of multi-robots object transportation by using the concept
of Object Closure. In contrast to Form or Force Closure which is used in the research of …

This paper addresses the function distribution and behavior design problem for a multirobot
system which incorporates a behavior-based dynamic cooperation strategy for object …

This paper presents cooperative formation to transport an overweight object by means of
multi-robot. Previous studies on object transportation have mainly focused on multi-robot …

This paper proposes a new car transportation system, iCART II (intelligent Cooperative
Autonomous Robot Transporters-type II), based on “a-robot-for-a-wheel” concept. A …

We address the manipulation of planar objects by multiple cooperating mobile robots using
the concept of object closure, a condition under which the object is trapped so that there is …
