Information exchange in coalitions of mobile robots in conditions of limited communications based on an epidemic algorithm
Abstract
Information exchange in coalitions of mobile robots in conditions of limited communications based on an epidemic algorithm
Incoming article date: 20.03.2019Currently, the topic of creating groups of mobile robots for solving group tasks is very popular. In this connection, there is a question of the implementation of information exchange within the team. The article discusses the existing approaches to organizing information interaction in groups of intelligent robots, and also provides a brief analysis of the features of information exchange, depending on the type of control strategy. A method of organizing the exchange of information, taking into account the limitations of on-board telecommunications systems of mobile robots, is proposed. The proposed method is based on the use of epidemic algorithms and swarm sweep methods for routing. The result of software simulation is provided.
