Abstract

In multi-robot systems, it is very important to maintain the network connectivity for cooperative behavior between robots. This paper describes a new method for deployment of wireless relay nodes. When applying rescue robots in building or underground city, connecting communication range is attenuated. In the paper, we divide multi-robot by leader robot, source robot, and relay robot. Using these robots, we propose communication control algorithm for connecting network communication.
