Multi-robot map building based on Ad hoc network communication

Multi-robot map-building most uses Dynamic partitioning method, which limits the mutual cooperation between the robots greatly. To solve the problem, this paper proposes an improved method of distributed control system based on Ad hoc Network to strengthen collaboration between the robots. The method builds the global coordinates, transfers and searches for the information and the position of roots using Ad hoc network to achieve information sharing and strengthen collaboration between the robots, and builds map using the grid method. The experimental results on the robot platform show the feasibility and effectiveness of the approach.
