Intelligent Routing Mechanism in Mobile Robot Networks

A mobile robot network is a network system composed of multiple robots with simple functions through communication and collaboration. To achieve coordination and cooperation between robots, designing an efficient communication mechanism is a key issue. However, due to the characteristics of the autonomous movement of robots and the harsh environment in which the robots perform tasks, the network is facing difficulties such as exhaustion of node power, node damage, and link failure. In order to solve these problems, we design an intelligent routing mechanism for mobile robot networks based on the communication capabilities of robots, which aims to improve the delivery rate of data packets, reduce the transmission delay, and extend the survival time of the network. The simulation results show that the routing mechanism has advantages in terms of average routing delay, delay jitter, packet delivery rate and node mortality.
