The invention relates to a method for controlling a plurality of mobile driverless manipulator systems (10, 20), in particular driverless transport vehicles in a logistics environment for manipulating objects (30). In the method, ambient information is provided by a central control device (40), and in one step, an object to be moved (30) in the surroundings is detected. The position and the pose of the detected object are used for updating the ambient information and are taken into account in the path planning of the mobile driverless manipulator systems (10, 20) in that, prior to a movement of the detected object (30), a first mobile driverless manipulator system (10) is used to check whether the detected object (30) is needed for the orientation of a second mobile driverless manipulator system (20).
A method for controlling a plurality of mobile driverless manipulator systems (10, 20), in particular driverless transportation vehicles in a logistics environment for moving objects (30), wherein the manipulator systems (10, 20) comprise sensors for orientation and have communication means in order to communicate with at least one central control unit (40), which method comprises the following steps:
