Mobile robots are becoming increasingly common in our domestic and professional environments, from small autonomous vacuum cleaners, such as the iRobot Roomba, and lawnmowers, such as the Husqvarna Automower, to more sophisticated autonomous security and service robots. This paper explores robot communication. The authors are not concerned about the security or the safety involved in the mobile communication; rather, they are focused on the capacity and power gains. They propose using collaborative relaying strategies for autonomic management, and explore the potential for collaborative mobile communications using IEEE 802.11 (b, n and g).
