Abstract
In this research we attempt to build a user interface for controlling a group of omnidirectional robots to realize the transportation of convex shape edge objects. Our method establishes a manual guidance to the robots initial positions, initializes the collective grasping/lifting process and finally, provides the user with a high level control over the velocity of the load during transportation to the required destination. The hardware and software structure of the system are described and a simulation is performed to convey the data from the robots sensors.
