Abstract:

As swarm of robots from different domains works together in a system of systems, the need arises for inter-swarm communication. This paper presents a viable solution for robotic swarm communication and navigation for different autonomous applications. Communication is achieved through ZigBee radio modems and an expandable protocol to accommodate different types of data. This proposed communication system also allows dynamic swarm expansion, where a new member can be added to the swarm family. It is a complementary approach for task coordination and navigation. Navigation is an important issue to accomplish the coordination of tasks in a swarm of robots. Different environmental issues, related to navigation, have been discussed and are presented through simulation results and the real-time communication test is presented through the experimental result.
