Abstract
This paper describes a communication method for multiple autonomous soccer robots. This method has advantages as compared with the conventional broadcast communication; the rate of loss of packets is low, it is guaranteed that communication data has reached other robots, and processing load of communication does not concentrate in a short period. Precise cooperation among robots requires sharing global information of the field in real-time. The proposed method is suitable for this kind of work. This method consists of two elements. One is the method of building a ring to move packets among robots. Another is the method of reconstructing a ring dynamically corresponding to temporary interruption of communication of a certain robot, exclusion of a robot, and inclusion of a robot. These two methods can substitute for the conventional broadcast communication.
