  • Abstract
    The index of the manipulative difficulty for a mobile robot towing and pushing multiple trailers to follow a straight line is proposed. It will be useful to design such a tractor-trailers system. Some examples of the manipulative difficulty index was calculated by changing the number of trailers when the mobile robot pushes and tows the trailers
