For implementing efficient cooperative behaviour strategies of a group of robots an appropriate communication system is needed.Depending on the robot's task different communication techniques may be used.We have analyzed an ultrasonic detection and communication system, a communication technique that uses infrared transmitters and receivers and a radio based system using Bluetooth technology.In addition a passive vision system for cooperative robot recognition and positioning has been analyzed.For each system we have developed particular sensor and communication components, that can be used for experiments.As a platform for embedding and testing our hardware we use the mini robot Khepera.
