To implement multi-robot cooperation, we need a communication medium. In general, RF communication is chosen by researchers and makers to exchange data among robots. In this book, we will use XBee modules from Digi International to establish RF communication.
Implementing mesh network for multi-robot cooperation
XBee modules
XBee modules are RF modules that are manufactured by Digi International. There are various XBee modules that we can use in our robots. One of the XBee modules is the XBee Series 1 that supports the IEEE 802.15.4 protocol. This module has features to address multi-point packets.
