摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a group robot system for efficiently providing the whole detailed information on an object while realizing miniaturization and electric power-saving.;SOLUTION: This group robot system includes a plurality of sensing robots CS, a base station BS101 for controlling these robots, and a pheromone robot FE105 for controlling the movement of the sensing robots CS. A signal from the same sensing robot CS is communicated to the sensing robots CS of a communication passage positioned in a plurality of passages. Reliability of sensor information in this group robot system 100, is enhanced by communicating the same kind of sensor information to the base station BS101 while correcting the information with every stage for relaying communication, by using the plurality of sensing robots CS positioned in a separate communication passage. The base station BS101 processes the received sensor information from the plurality of passages by time sharing.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
