Abstract
In this paper, we show cooperative object transportation by two 4-legged robots. To realize cooperative transportation with autonomy, we adopt implicit communication based cooperation. Each robot uses only its own sensors to estimate state of a task. With this method, people can attend to the cooperation system without any changes. We will show an algorithm and two experiments; one is by two legged robots and the other is by one robot and a human.
