This document describes the proposal of an internal and external communication architecture implemented in order to develop cooperative tasks among robotic units. The key of this communication system are the client-server links designed with Player/Stage for periodical control tasks and with sockets for non periodical ones. Each mobile unit acts as a node, connected through an Ethernet-Converter device, of the network control system.Using this communication architecture as the base, local and remote control alternatives are described for a mobile unit as well as for several working in convoy.The robotic platform is a P3-DX improved with electronic systems for control and communicatio: main board "VIA-EPIA mini ITX" and ethernet converter WLI-TX4-G54HP-2.Besides the descripction of how to implement the communication architecture, the results of an example of a P3-DX remotely controlled are included.

The number of vehicles on the roads worldwide grows annually. With the increase in the population of on-road vehicles comes the increase in traffic-related problems such as emissions, traffic accidents, traffic jams, and increased fuel consumption, to mention but a few. The field of robotics presents the autonomous robotic platooning concept, which presents a very promising future for the transportation industry in general and intelligent transportation industry, in particular. With autonomous platooning, efficient road usage, reduced fuel consumption and emission are possible. This promising field, however, faces issues and challenges barring the deployment of autonomous platoons. In this chapter, the authors introduce the user to the concept of autonomous platooning, present the current state-of-the-art of autonomous robotic platoons and issues that they still face, and ultimately, discuss their progress and future trends.
