Odin and Hodur: Using Bluetooth Communication for Coordinated Robotic Search.

Abstract

This paper describes a multi-robot system designed to use Bluetooth wireless communication to solve the “Honeybee” task. The Honeybee task is a simple search and navigation problem that requires a “guide ” robot to lead another “blind ” robot to a specific target within the environment. Topics discussed include advantages and disadvantages of using Bluetooth in robotics, as well as a variety of behaviors required to solve the Honeybee task.
