Abstract :
Virtual networking method for multi-robot navigation is proposed. This method is suitable for the collaboration of the robots that supports human workers in offices, factories, or disaster areas. In this method, virtual nodes and their forwarding tables are constructed on each robot according to DSDV routing protocol. These virtual information navigates the robot to its destination. The data volume is reasonable and is shareable with other robots through wireless channels. Simulations on a maze like environment is executed to confirm the performance of the proposed method.
