Abstract
We present a solution to prevent collisions among robots that are moving toward their respective goals. A robot may start moving at any time from its station to its goal. For a moving robot, the probability of conflict increases proportionately to the complexity of other robots’ respective routes. In terms of lowering possibilities of collision, a proper strategy for controlling robot behaviors before encounters is essential. Prior research presented a negotiation-based solution through a broadcasting method. In our solution, we assume robots are unable or unwilling to negotiate or broadcast data among one another. They should possess a strategy to detect and predict conflict zones, and hence determine strategies to avoid collisions independently.
