Design and implementation of a system for travel in form of convoy of mobile platforms Lego Mindstorms nxt 2.0

This article explains the development of a cooperative robotic system, using three mobile platforms Lego Mindstorms nxt 2.0 as a convoy moving through an established route. These robots have actuators that allow the displacement, measurement of their environment and transmission an infrared signal that allows them to establish a wireless communication according to the orders assigned by the first device that acts as the master of the system. The development of mobile robotic systems today is very important due the interaction and integration of many devices that act to perform a task, sometimes it's necessary to develop cooperation between multiple robotic agents for working together, which improves performance a system.
