HIAC - Hierarchical Inter-Agent Communication System

Abstract

In our century, there seems to be more and more demand of multiagent heterogeneous robotic systems whose agents together can fulfill tasks that had been very difficult to apply and required deep programming knowledge earlier. The most difficult task about heterogeneous systems is perhaps to implement the right communication between the devices. Although IP-based communication can hugely help to solve this problem, it is not really applicable in many respects for a robotic system whose structural, hierarchical architecture makes the construction of a special communication system expedient. The main aim of our article is to give a recommendation to the communication of the systems that have a structured device set of huge number of entities being in close relation to each other.
