Collision avoidance between robots operating in the same cell

摘要

The article discusses the collision avoidance between robots operating in the same cell. The cell controller operates the cell by sending instructions to the individual (local) hardware and robot controllers, the latter as a sequence of subroutines. For multi-robot cells the Route Consultant is an additional requirement. Its function is to interpret the overall status of the cell and thence to advise the cell controller accordingly.
