Self-organizable Bluetooth network for distributed autonomous robotic system
Se-Hee Whang, In-Hun Jang, Hong-Gi Lee, Kwee-Bo Sim · 2005
Distributed autonomous robotic system (DARS) consists of central processing part, communication part, sensor part, and etc. It is essential for DARS, which is made of independent agents. Bluetooth is developed having the features as low power consumption, standard protocol, small module size and etc. So it is suitable for DARS. But it has some constraints like network structure, distance of communication, and so on. To overcome these constraints, more dynamic network system is needed for DARS. In this paper, we propose the self-organizable bluetooth network base on the routing-tree that is more adaptable for DARS. This network system is composed of the following four network-organization procedures-discovery, organization, maintenance, and re-organization (C. Chevallay et al., 2002). Also this system can operate in more dynamic environment and organize communication network by itself. By the reasons, this self-organizable bluetooth network is suitable for DARS and other dynamic environment.
