Multi-mobile robots communication system for mobile robot of central south-II

In order to improve the compatibility of current communication system, a principle for the design of multi-mobile robots communication system was presented. MORCS-II (Mobile robot of central south-II) multi-mobile robots used explicit communication method, communication network was based on Ad Hoc network, communication protocol based on cluster was proposed and the prototype of the system was developed in the Windows XP operate system, which brought about some compatibility. The results show that the reconfiguration time of cluster structure is about 1 s, the time that one robot is away from a team can be detected in about 1 s, the time of finding transport path is about 1 s. Besides, the parameters can be modified so that the system is adequate to different environments.
