N2 - In recent years, with the increase in physical distribution volume, unmanned transportation robots are expected as an alternative means of transporting baggage in factories and warehouses. The development of a control system for cooperative transportation by multiple robots is important when the objects to be transported are long and exceed the size and the weight limit. From this, we develop a control system for cooperative transportation using two robots independently driven by two wheels. In this paper, a communication system between two mobile robots and a host PC is constructed by using ROS, and a sub-goal is generated to each robot to realize a cooperative running with two robots. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified through an experiment that the controlled point of an object is subject to a movement along the square of 1 m.
