Communication Mechanism of a Planetary Exploration Multi-Robot System

The communication characteristics of a reconfigurable planetary exploration multi-robot system are analyzed.According to the function requirement for the multi-robot system,enlightened by the principle of TDMA(time division multiple address) and rotational mechanism,a novel multi-robot wireless communication mechanism is proposed.The mechanism and the communication protocol are also described in detail.The feasibility and practicability of the mechanism are simultaneously verified by a simulation and a communication experiment.
