About this Research Topic
The field of robotic communication has seen significant advancements in recent years, driven by the rapid development of software and hardware technologies. Communication, derived from the Latin word "communicare," meaning to share or make common, is fundamental to the transmission of information. In nature, the level of communication is directly proportional to the consciousness and intelligence of living organisms. Similarly, as robots become more intelligent and conscious, the need for effective communication between them becomes increasingly critical. Historically, robots operated on a master-slave principle, where a singular master issued commands to multiple slave robots. However, modern multi-robot systems require autonomous communication among robots to complete tasks efficiently. Despite these advancements, there remain significant gaps in understanding and optimizing these communication models, particularly in interactions between robots and other conscious beings.
This Research Topic aims to develop and refine communication models between robots and other conscious beings, exploring the underlying theories, identifying existing problems, and proposing innovative solutions. The primary objectives include answering specific questions about the efficacy of current communication techniques, testing hypotheses related to task allocation and sharing in multi-robot systems, and enhancing real-time communication networks for robots. By addressing these aims, the research seeks to bridge the gap between theoretical models and practical applications, ultimately improving the functionality and efficiency of robotic systems.
To gather further insights into the communication dynamics in robotic systems, we welcome articles addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:
- Communication in robots
- Human–robot communication
- Communication techniques and theories between multiple robots
- Communication techniques and theories between robots and conscious beings
- Task allocations in multi-robot systems
- Task sharing in multi-robot systems
- Real-time communication networks for robots
