This paper describes a communication and control infrastructure for autonomous mini-robots, which is based on Bluetooth wireless communication technology. In mobile robots, one of the most important issues is power consumption which limits the lifetime of the robot. In this respect, for communication, a technology that requires the least energy is the most appropriate choice. We have developed a Bluetooth stick for the mini-robot Khepera to enable simple point-to-point wireless connectivity. Using this stick, one can establish communication between one master and seven slaves, called a piconet. We have also extended the networking capabilities to establish Bluetooth scatternets through hardware enrichment. The described infrastructure in general can be applied to all kinds of autonomous robots.
