This paper discusses a system of multiple wheeled mobile robots (MWMRs) that are co-ordinated to accomplish complex tasks related to maintenance and construction in an Automated Highway System (AHS). The robots are tethered to a support vehicle for accurate relative positioning, power, and other necessary supplies. The mechanical and control architectures are described. Developments on a user interface are discussed, and a sample system architecture for a specific AHS task is described.
