title: Cooperative Task Execution between Modular Robots Based on Tight-Loose Cooperation Strategies creator: Baca Garcia, Jose Antonio creator: Rossi, Claudio creator: Ferre Pérez, Manuel creator: Aracil Santonja, Rafael subject: Robotics and Industrial Computing description: The complexity in the execution of cooperative tasks is high due to the fact that a robot team requires movement coordination at the beginning of the mission and continuous coordination during the execution of the task. A variety of techniques have been proposed to give a solution to this problem assuming standard mobile robots. This work focuses on presenting the execution of a cooperative task by a modular robot team. The complexity of the task execution increases due to the fact that each robot is composed of modules which have to be coordinated in a proper way to successfully work. A combined tight and loose cooperation strategy is presented and a bar-pushing example is used as a cooperative task to show the performance of this type of system. publisher: E.T.S.I.
