A Predict-Fuzzy Logic Communication Approach for Multi Robotic Cooperation and Competition

Abstract

This paper presents a new intelligent communication strategy for multi robots’ cooperation and competition, which combines the explicit with implicit communications via using the prediction of robotic behavior and a fuzzy communication approach. The multi robotic system employs a host computer and a team of mobile robots that understand the semantics and grammar as well as observe the codes of conduct. Based on the intelligent communication strategy, two robots playing a zero-sum game of hide-and-seek and two cooperative robots competing against a third robot have been explored. The results of simulation show that the new intelligent communication strategy and the algorithms for cooperation and competition used in the multi-robot system work successfully.
