Abstract:
Robotic applications are important in both indoor and outdoor environments. Establishing reliable end-to-end communication among robots in such environments are inevitable. Many real-time challenges in robotic communications are mainly due to the dynamic movement of robots, battery constraints, absence of Global Position System (GPS), etc. Systems and methods of the present disclosure provide assisted link prediction (ALP) protocol for communication between robots that resolves real-time challenges link ambiguity, prediction accuracy, improving Packet Reception Ratio (PRR) and reducing energy consumption in-terms of lesser retransmissions by computing link matrix between robots and determining status of a Collaborative Robotic based Link Prediction (CRLP) link prediction based on a comparison of link matrix value with a predefined covariance link matrix threshold. Based on determined status, robots either transmit or receive packet, and the predefined covariance link matrix threshold is dynamically updated. If the link to be predicted is unavailable, the system resolves ambiguity thereby enabling communication between robots.
