Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2017129360A1] The invention relates to a method for controlling a group of robots, comprising a leading robot (10) and at least one following robot (20, 30), which cooperates with the leading robot and moves in accordance with the leading robot, wherein the absolute velocity (v10) of the leading robot and/or the absolute velocity (v20abs) of the following robot is reduced on the basis of a specified limit (vmax) such that a mutual relative velocity (V20rel) is not exceeded and therefore a safety function is not triggered.
