Abstract :
In this paper a multirobot system (MRS) trajectory control for conducting a group of humans is proposed. Its architecture, implementation and the strategy to conduct people by a team of robots is discussed, as well as the robots motion planning methodology is being encompassed. Some experimental results on people localization by a vision system are also introduced, which exhibit its usage as sensory information for generation of people trajectory control. A social model to simulate humans motion is also included in this investigation as means to prove the mechanism of guidance and crowd dynamics by the team of robots, where such motion control is based on intelligent changes of position and speed
