This paper presents an application of the multi-agent system approach to mobile manipulators that cooperate to achieve displacement of heavy and large objects. Therefore, the task is distributed between agents, and each agent offers and negotiates its services that help in accomplishing the mission. The multi-agent system has been developed using the oRis platform. The main components of such a system include communication and negotiation protocols. Hence we present the behavior of robots, their interaction, and their behavior toward obstacles. Computer simulations are conducted in order to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed approach.
