                    | Abstract | 
                    This paper presents a simple relative positioning
 algorithm for multiple micro robots. The micro robot is
 designed as a differential driven vehicle and actuated by
 MEMS‐based electromagnetic micromotors. A simple
 relative positioning approach based only on one infrared
 emitter, receiver and compass is presented. Using this
 method, we characterized the accuracy of positioning
 between robots and identified sources of imprecision.
 Finally, this module is clearly demonstrated with the
 autonomous docking of multiple micro robots. The ability
 of our algorithm makes it cost effective and easy to
 deploy its application to multiple micro robots. |
