  • Abstract
    This paper discusses a formation control of a multiple mobile robot system (MMRS) called super Mechano colony (SMC). First, we describe the SMC system composed of a mother ship and many agents as a prototype of MMRS. Next, we propose a cooperative transportation method of the mother ship with multiple agents, and the properties of the proposed method is analyzed using an experimental system.
