Abstract :
The paper proposes basic concepts of cooperation of multiple autonomous mobile robots, The authors suggest to divide the cooperation into two types, active and nonactive according to the setting goal of the system. And in nonactive cooperation there must be `modest cooperation´ to prevent any collision of resource access by the robots. The way to design multiple robots system is also discussed
