  • Abstract
    In this paper, we propose a decentralized control algorithm of multiple robots handling a single object in coordination. Different from our previous control algorithm the external force applied to the object, including the inertia force, is shared equally by all of the robots. The proposed control algorithm is experimentally applied to three mobile robots, each of which has one degree of freedom. The experimental results illustrate the validity of the proposed control system
