Optimized Location Discovery Algorithm for Cooperative Activities of a Robot Team

摘要

This paper presents a novel location discovery algorithm used in collaborative work of a team of mobile mini-robots, which are connected as nodes of an inter-robot communication network. The location discovery scheme is a bio-inspired solution for collective decision making based on Outside of Transmission Range information from some reference nodes. The results obtained by simulation show that the proposed scheme can locate more nodes than the basic location discovery scheme by multi-lateration.
