Abstract

In a swarm of autonomous agents, agent to agent communication plays a vital role. A sustained communication over a large deployment area always contributes handsomely to the power budget. Indirect or passive communication methods can be a way out, where an agent does not directly communicate with another agent, but they do so by changing one’s own appearance in some way. In the proposed framework, a robot will display its status or any important information in a 2-D barcode like, binary pattern, using low power led-based displays. Adjacent/neighbor robots with their onboard camera will capture the displayed pattern and decode it to know about the information. We have implemented and tested it for readability over different ranges and lighting conditions. The framework is found to work efficiently within a small to medium sized neighborhood (3–4 ft.).
