 note = {Mobile robots should share their working environment with many other different types of robots. To manage good traffic flow for heterogeneous robot groups, we believe the robots should adapt their behavior to give their ways by using a simple and cheap communication method which many types of robots can easily implement. In this paper, we propose a single value signal communication protocol and the use of “infrared asynchronous communication” to avoid obstacles and deadlock between robots. Based on a value exchange, give-way behaviors are selected by using Reinforcement learning controllers. We conducted experiments with three robots with their paths to the destination overlapped. The results showed that the robots were able to learn an appropriate behavior in relatively short learning terms.},
