Tacit navigation method for multi-agent system

Abstract

The goal of this paper is to make robots move effectively according to the navigation method and reach the destination in a short time. We propose a new navigation method is based on the standard rules of airplane traffic: If both airplanes approach each other from opposite sides, they are supposed to give way by turning right away from each other to avoid a collision, and if flying airplanes come into conflicting paths side by side, the left airplane turns right to yield. The robot that moves according to this navigation method would either stop or use the limit-cycle to avoid a collision. As a result, robots remain safe and reach their destinations faster. © 2010 Springer-Verlag.
