Abstract

Local communication system is considered appropriate when many mobile robots should achieve cooperation, from the standpoint of cost and capacity of communication. This paper presents a design method of the optimal communication range for efficient local communication system. The analyses of optimization are made by minimizing the information transition time, first in the case of transmission to an arbitrary robot, and next, to multiple robots. Computer simulations have been undertaken to verify the analytical results
