Abstract :
The purpose of this research is to propose and develop a "robot group management operating system". This treats each robot and workspace as a module, to improve the program development efficiency of the multi robot system. This simplifies the programming of cooperation and enables sharing of the work space. In this paper, the modulation of a robot that composed a robot group was considered. Also, the easiness of programming the modules using the developed system is shown.
