Cooperative systems

Increasingly flexible and variable production requires adaptable material handling and logistics concepts. In addition to their intended transportation tasks, mobile robotic systems (AGV, AMR) offer the possibility of acting cooperatively and accomplishing tasks together. Our research primarily focuses on the transportation of large objects with arbitrary geometry by combining multiple vehicles. In addition to the underlying system description, the necessary communication, navigation, and path planning are also subject of our research - always using real systems to validate and demonstrate the developed concepts.
