Abstract
A mobile robot control system with plural mobile robots each of which moves along a predetermined route in the same area. One mobile robot gives way to the other mobile robot when the mobile robot receives a signal emitted by the other mobile robot. A mobile robot moving on a predetermined route has a sensor which senses whether or not an obstacle exists on the route. The sensor senses again after a predetermined time from the first sensing whether the sensor still detects the obstacle existing on the route at the first sensing.
