METHODS, APPARATUS, COMPUTER PROGRAMS, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE STORAGE MEDIUMS FOR CONTROLLING AT LEAST ONE OF A FIRST ROBOT AND A SECOND ROBOT TO COLLABORATE WITHIN A SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method of controlling at least one of a first robot and a second robot to collaborate within a system, the first robot and the second robot being physically separate to one another, the method comprising:
- receiving sensed data associated with the second robot;
determining position and/or orientation of the second robot using the received sensed data;
determining an action for the second robot using the determined position and/or orientation of the second robot; and
providing a control signal to the second robot to cause the second robot to perform the determined action to collaborate with the first robot.
