Supporting distributed applications for swarm of robots within smart environments: the way of EU project DustBot

ABSTRACT

This paper deals with a communication infrastructure needed to allow a swarm of robots performing dust cleaning and garbage collection task in an urban area. It outlines the required communication links, analyses them regarding security, describes in details the implementation and figure out some performance test results.
