Experiments in sensing and communication for robot

چکیده
This paper deals with coordinating behaviour in a multi-autonomous robot system. When two or more autonomous robots must interact in order to accomplish some common goal, communication between the robots is essential. Diierent inter-robot communications strategies give rise to diierent overall system performance and reliability. After a brief consideration of some theoretical approaches to multiple-robot collections, we present concrete implementations of diierent strategies for convoy-like behaviour. The convoy system is based around two RWI B12 mobile robots and uses only passive visual sensing for inter-robot communication. The issues related to diierent communication strategies are considered.

متن کاملA general algorithm for robot formations using local sensing and minimal communication
We study the problem of achieving global behavior in a group of distributed robots using only local sensing and minimal communication, in the context of formations. The goal is to have N mobile robots establish and maintain some predetermined geometric shape. We report results from extensive simulation experiments, and 40+ experiments with four physical robots, showing the viability of our appr...
متن کاملMulti-Modal Local Sensing and Communication for Collective Underwater Systems
This paper is devoted to local sensing and communication for collective underwater systems used in networked and swarm modes. It is demonstrated that a specific combination of modal and sub-modal communication, used simultaneously for robot-robot and robot-object detection, can create a dedicated cooperation between multiple AUVs. These technologies, platforms and experiments are shortly descri...
