SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR COORDINATING TRAVEL OF GUIDANCE ROBOTS

A method for coordinating travel of guidance robots includes determining that at least a first guidance robot and a second guidance robot share a common route that is traveled by each of the first and second guidance robots while guiding a first user and a second user, respectively, towards a respective destination. The method also includes identifying a first user movement characteristic associated with the first user and a second user movement characteristic associated with the second user. The method also includes determining, based on the first and second user movement characteristics, a formation in which the first and second guidance robots are to be arranged while travelling along the common route. The method also includes causing the first and second guidance robots to be arranged in the determined formation while travelling along the common route.
