ABSTRACT
Advancements in microprocessor-based systems have revolutionized robotics, enabling single-robot and multi-robot systems (MRS) to excel in various applications such as search and rescue, forest fire detection, mining, and disaster management. MRS systems amplify robot capabilities, enabling complex tasks and distributed operations. Effective communication between robots is crucial for optimal performance. This paper explores MRS architectures, emphasizing networking issues and required services for enhanced efficiency. It compares MRS systems to mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), analyzes robot-to-robot (R2R) and robot-to-infrastructure (R2I) communication links, and identifies protocols applicable at different levels of the MRS hierarchy.
