The world has recently witnessed a development that we are experiencing in various fields, especially in the technical field and the findings of modern technologies in the fields of artificial intelligence and robotics programming and its latest digital technologies and cloud computing technology, and it became a trend to use the latest concepts in the world of digitization, such as automation, artificial intelligence techniques, and data analysis, as it became possible for robots to cooperate together in carrying out certain tasks assigned to them while overcoming obstacles in their environment and passing through with ease. Also, the robots are able to work independently of each other, so the loss of one of the robots will not be a big problem because the other robots will complete the task assigned to them without being affected by the loss of this robot. In this paper, three robots have been created that have four wheels, in Webots, and are placed in an environment in Gazebo. Tasks have been assigned to these robots, including adding Lidar and a Kinect camera. The distributed cooperation between robots has been made so that no robot can cross any path that a robot has crossed before. It was given to the three robots the same goal, and the first one to reach the goal tells the rest of the robots the end of the task, and on their way to the goal, they will recognize the objects around them, so the Yolo algorithm (you look only once) was used, which is one of the best algorithms to discover things in the environment in which they are. As for the results obtained in the simulation, our robots carried out all the tasks assigned to them. In our view, these tasks are an ideal model for experimenting with collaboration between robots.
