Multi Agricultural Robots Cooperation Using Wireless Ad-hoc Network

Nowadays, the compound robot is a kind of AGV mobile collaborative robot with the multi-axis robot mounted on it, which can be used for agricultural works, such as harvesting and inspecting. Meanwhile, often WLAN is used to provide wireless communication for prototype system, for research testbeds, and also for commercial and industrial applications. People manually assign tasks to robots in advance and supervise the job situation. Once the number of working robots changes, it is depressing to reassign the tasks manually again and again with lower automation level. The use of the optimized WLAN which the paper proposed makes greater automation and overcomes the above defects. A brief presentation of the behavior of an improved ad-hoc routing protocols proposed in this paper is given and important aspects are discussed exemplarily.
