Congestion avoidance and common resource access management for multiple robots

Embodiments herein disclose methods and systems to avoid congestion in an area by a plurality of robots awaiting access to a common resource. A current robot action and a sensor data of one of the plurality of robots is received at a cloud node. Based on the received current robot action and the sensor data, a determination is made whether the one of the plurality of robots has to access the common resource. Next, a spatial query is executed at the cloud node to determine a location in the area for positioning the one of the plurality of robots awaiting access to the common resource based on a static spatial condition that requires a congestion-free movement when the robot is positioned at the location in the area. Next, based on a collaboratively determined priority order, the common resource is accessed by the one of the plurality of robots.
