In this paper, we propose a cooperative motion planning algorithm for two tightly-coupled mobile robots. Specifically, the considered cooperative work is that two mobile robots should transfer a long rigid object along a predefined path. To resolve the problem, we introduce a master-slave concept for two obile robots having the same structure. According to the velocity of the master robot and the positions of two robots on the path, the velocity of the slave robot is determined. The slave normally tracks the master's motion, but in case that the velocity of the slave exceeds the velocity limit, the roles of the robots should be interchanged. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is proved by computer simulations.
