Cooperation of Two Heterogeneous Mobile Robots

The paper presents cooperation of two heterogeneous mobile robots which are two-wheeled robot and an unmanned aerial vehicle. Those platforms are fully autonomous and are equipped with indoor positioning system to acquire position of each. This paper introduces simple algorithms of path planning in static environment which is known for rover robots and path handling for both platforms. Accurate environment map is given a priori. The main aim of this work are the simulation tests of the simple cooperation algorithm. Tests were conducted in Simulink and its results are presented in both mobile platforms trajectories and path errors in x and y directions. The presented results show the effectiveness of proposed method.
