DMPC-based control solution for mobile robots platoon based on ZigBee communication

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: The integration of mobile robots into various applications, operating collaboratively in groups known as platoons, presents challenges in communication, control, and synchronization. This paper introduces a control solution for mobile robot platoons based on a DMPC algorithm and the ZigBee protocol for V2V communication. This communication standard was selected for its low power consumption, cost-effectiveness, and reliable data transmission over short distances. Furthermore, a testbed and methodology for the experimental evaluation of the proposed control solution were developed. The results demonstrate the efficacy and feasibility of the proposed control and communication solutions. • Proposed control solution for cooperative mobile robots in logistics applications. • The communication between robots is based on the ZigBee protocol. • Testbed using BIG8051 and MRF24J40 for vehicular communication and control testing.
