Abstract
In this study, a passive joint mechanism is attached to the hand of each manipulator to prevent the generation of the internal forces during cooperative transportation by multiple mobile manipulators. The mechanism enables cooperative transportation by position control. However the loads for each manipulator changes according to the grasping pose by the characteristics of the mechanism. In this paper, first, we propose a method of transportation considering the characteristics of the mechanism. Then, we verify the effectiveness of the proposed method by experiments.
