Simulating In-robot Network Architecture For Humanoid Robots

This paper reveals an important issue that cannot be ignored in the future research field of humanoid robots, the research on the In-robot Network (IRN). This paper points out that as the number of internal sensors and actuators added in robots increases, a reliable network architecture is needed to support efficient data transmission between nodes. This paper first proposed the communication requirements of the IRN architecture. Subsequently, a set of IRN architecture was designed according to the proposed communication requirements, and the form of network simulation was used to verify whether the architecture could meet the network communication requirements. Finally, through the analysis of the simulation experiment results, the further improvement space of the IRN architecture and the future research direction are predicted.
