Abstract
This paper deals with an approach for resolving deadlock problems in the case of carrying loads by the Distributed Autonomous Robotic System (DARS). The deadblock condition appears in multiple robots which move and work autonomously. Therefore, we propose an algorithm to resolve the deadlock condition by cooperative hand-to-hand motion, which is a type of cooperative performance. This paper shows the effectiveness of hand-to-hand motion through numerical simulation.
