Summary
・Developed a control model for group of robot vehicles based on fish schooling rules (collision avoidance, moving side-by-side, following), with which fishes swim densely while avoiding collision
・Group of robot vehicles are autonomously and gently coordinated to form a group which adapts to surrounding conditions and realizes smooth traffic
Technology Specifications
・Control logic based on fish schooling rules utilizing data from censors, which grasp its position from a leading vehicle and obstacles
Improvement & Advantages
・Fish schooling rules in 3D space were adjusted for on-ground 2D plane driving application
・Cooperative control of multiple vehicles for safe and smooth traffic
Related applications & end products
・Application to a field where multiple vehicles are required to be coordinated, such as convoy driving on high-way with the aim of improving logistics efficiency
