Cooperative mobile robot applications enable robots to perform tasks that are more complex than those that each single robot can perform alone. In this application context, communication networks play a very important role, as they have to cope with strict requirements (e.g., in terms of mobility, reliability, and bounded latencies). Recent cooperative robot applications foresee the support of low datarate communication technologies, that provide, among other benefits, lower energy consumption and easy integration with Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Unfortunately, the state-of-the-art solutions either entail high costs and complexity or are not suitable for low data rate communications. Consequently, novel solutions for cooperating robots are required. For this reason, this paper presents RoboMAC, a new MAC protocol for mobile cooperating robots that enables the integration of robots with WSNs, supports mobility and real-time communications, and provides high scalability. The paper also presents a proof-of-concept implementation that proves the feasibility of the RoboMAC protocol on COTS devices.

“…There exists a crucial design issue through complicated distributed networks due to the large diameter and the vast average distance of massive-scale lattice-based networks. (Huang et al, 2019) reviews a variety of techniques associated with mobile robots in WSNs. It helps scholars understand the flow within every category, the relationship among different solutions along with accurate information as well as in-depth analysis.…”

Path planning has played a significant role in major numerous decision-making techniques through an automatic system involved in numerous military applications. In the last century, pathfinding and generation were carried out by multiple intelligent approaches. It is very difficult in pathfinding to reduce energy. Besides suggesting the shortest path, it has been found that optimal path planning. This paper introduces an efficient path planning algorithm for networked robots using modified optimization algorithms in combination with the η3 -splines. A new method has employed a cuckoo optimization algorithm to handle the mobile robot path planning problem. At first, η3 - splines are combined so an irregular set of points can be included alongside the kinematic parameters chosen to relate with the development and the control of mobile robots. The proposed algorithm comprises of adaptive random fluctuations (ARFs), which help to deal with the very much manageable neighborhood convergence. This algorithm carries out the process of accurate object identification along with analyzing the influence of different design choice by developing a 3D CNN architecture to determine its performance. Besides offering classification in real-time applications, the proposed algorithm outperforms the performance of state of the art in different benchmarks

The Internet of Flying Robots (IoFR) has received much attention in recent years thanks to the mobility and flexibility of flying robots. Although a lot of research has been done, there is a lack of a comprehensive survey on this topic. This paper analyzes several typical problems in designing IoFR for real applications, including wireless communication support, monitoring targets of interest, serving a wireless sensor network, and collaborating with ground robots. In particular, an overview of the existing publications on the coverage problem, connectivity of flying robots, energy capacity limitation, target searching, path planning, flying robot navigation with collision avoidance, etc., is presented. Beyond the discussion of these available approaches, some shortcomings of them are indicated and some promising future research directions are pointed out.
