Design of Collaborative, Cross & Carry Mobile RoBots "C3Bots"

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents an introduction about C3Bots project which aims to design collaborative, cross and carry mobile robots. In this project it is considered to design an innovative robotic system based on modular entities with a simple mechanical architecture able to collaborate to ensure object co-manipulation and transport. The resulting multi-robot system is called C3Bots. In this paper we present the first version of this system using a parallelogram mechanism for co-manipulation and the realized prototypes which are going to be used for first experiments.
