Abstract
In multi robot system where two or more robot will be working together to complete a task given, it is fundamental to have a good communication between robots. This paper will discuss communication strategy by providing Personal Area Network (PAN) using Bluetooth method in multi robot area. Bluetooth is a suitable communication between mobile robots because low cost, low power consumption and communication range between 10m to 100m. This network is purpose to able to support real time control. Another advantage is the robot will able to communicate through the wall or obstacle. Bluetooth Protocol Stack and mobile robot control architecture is implemented on a single microcontroller chip. Result from the experiments show that the mobile robot named BlueBot, with programmed microcontroller able to perform a Bluetooth PAN and communicate with each other. One of the objectives of the project is to design and build three autonomous mobile robots which can establish PAN automatically via Bluetooth transceiver for wireless communication (hardware and software).
