Abstract

When many mobile robots should achieve cooperation, a local communication system is considered appropriate from the standpoint of the cost and capacity of communication. This paper presents the optimization of the efficiency of local communication in environments where many mobile robots send out information stochastically. The optimal communication area is derived by minimizing the transmission waiting time calculated using the probability of successful information transmission. Computer simulations have been undertaken to verify the analytical results
