Abstract :
This paper describes a method by which multiple mobile robots with a local view function and communication ability align between two landmarks and disperse in a room by autonomous decentralized rule. The method is robust against sensor error and does not require a learning function. We verified the effectiveness of the rule by simulations. The method can be applied to the formation of straight routes for conveyance.
