This is a continuation of our recent paper in which we developed the theory of sequential parametrized motion planning. A sequential parametrized motion planning algorithm produced a motion of the system which is required to visit a prescribed sequence of states, in a certain order, at specified moments of time. In the previous publication we analysed the sequential parametrized topological complexity of the Fadell - Neuwirth fibration which in relevant to the problem of moving multiple robots avoiding collisions with other robots and with obstacles in the Euclidean space. Besides, in the preceeding paper we found the sequential parametrised topological complexity of the Fadell - Neuwirth bundle for the case of the Euclidean space \Bbb Rd of odd dimension as well as the case d=2. In the present paper we give the complete answer for an arbitrary d≥ 2 even. Moreover, we present an explicit motion planning algorithm for controlling multiple robots in \Bbb Rd having the minimal possible topological complexity; this algorithm is applicable to any number n of robots and any number m≥ 2 of obstacles.
