“…Acoustic or light-based modem technologies (Bai et al, 2019;Han et al, 2019;Shen et al, 2019) are being developed for communication and hence inter-operability among mobile and fixed robotic platforms to increase their working autonomy (Del Rio et al, 2011Dunbabin and Marques, 2012;Wang et al, 2017).
