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. date_type: published date: 2011 place_of_pub: New Jersey, EEUU event_title: IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, ICRA 2011 event_location: Shanghai, China event_dates: 09/05/2011 - 13/05/2011 event_type: conference institution: Industriales department: Automatica refereed: TRUE isbn: 978-1-61284-386-5 book_title: Proceedings of the IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, ICRA 2011 official_url: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpls/abs_all.jsp?arnumber=5979774&tag=1 citation: Baca Garcia, Jose Antonio and Rossi, Claudio and Ferre Pérez, Manuel and Aracil Santonja, Rafael (2011).
