In recent years, there has been a growing interest in designing multi-robot systems
(hereafter MRSs) to provide cost effective, fault-tolerant and reliable solutions to a variety of …

One potential application of multirobot systems is collective transport, a task in which
multiple robots collaboratively move a payload that is too large or heavy for a single robot. In …

Object transportation could be a challenging problem for a single robot due to the oversize
and/or overweight issues. A multi-robot system can take the advantage of increased driving …

This article investigates the online motion coordination problem for a group of mobile robots
moving in a shared workspace, each of which is assigned a linear temporal logic …

This article presents a layered control approach for real-time trajectory planning and control
of robust cooperative locomotion by two holonomically constrained quadrupedal robots. A …

This paper investigates the problem of distributed control of multiple redundant mobile
manipulators to collectively transport an object tracking a desired trajectory with energy and …

We present a framework to enable a fleet of rigidly attached quadrotor aerial robots to
transport heavy objects along a known reference trajectory without inter-robot …

Distributed robotics promises to increase flexibility and robustness in robotic automation.
The robotic network needs to adapt self-reliantly to different scenarios. Similarly, robustness …

Cooperative transportation is one of the essential tasks for multi-robot systems to imitate the
decentralized systems of social insects. However, in a situation involving an obstacle on the …

In this paper we present a new, affordable, omnidirectional robot platform which is suitable
for research and education in cooperative robotics. We design and implement the platform …
