Abstract

This work involves the development of an algorithm to control a group motion of mobile robots. A group of four mobile robots was developed while each of them was controlled to move by the microcontroller and electrical motors. The robots communicate through long range wide area network (LoRaWan). The information regarding the position of the robot were sent and received through the server while user can also obtain the information in real time through a user interface (web application). The locations of all four mobile robots were determined based on RFID reading while the RFID tags were also used as part of the route planning. Based on our experiment with different paths, the developed algorithm was capable of controlling the motion of the robots in the indoor designated area. © 2020 IEEE.
