Those are some examples of real life experiences on the hose transportation problem:

A) Non-Linked Robots

[[[A.1 Tangential speeds for all robots were limited to 0.02 m/s.(media:2010.5.run1.avi)]]]

B) Linked Robots

Tangential speeds for all robots were limited to 0.02 m/s. (media:2010.5.run3.avi)

Max. tangential speed for last robot was limited (50%). References move full-speed. (media:2010.5.run5.avi)

Max. tangential speed for last robot was limited (50%). References move at 75% speed.(media:2010.5.run6.avi)

Max. tangential speed for last robot was limited (50%). References move at 50% speed.(media:2010.5.run7.avi)

Last robot is switched off. References move full-speed. (media:2010.5.run8.avi)

Last robot is switched off. References move at 50% speed. (media:2010.5.run9.avi)
