Development of a teleoperated multiple robot system with robot service network protocol - Support function and following task by two mobile robots

A teleoperated multiple robot system using robot service network protocol was developed. To perform a collaborative task involving multiple robots, support functions are necessary. We developed an estimation function for the rotational angle of a mobile robot and a shared map function for easy understanding of each robot´s position. These functions were experimentally confirmed with two mobile robots. Here, we have introduced the teleoperated multiple robot system and reported the experimental results.
