Abstract:
Robotic applications are important in both indoor and outdoor environments. Establishing reliable end-to-end communication among robots in such environments are inevitable. Many real-time challenges in robotic communications are mainly due to the dynamic movement of robots, battery constraints, absence of Global Position System (GPS), etc. Systems and methods of the present disclosure provide assisted link prediction (ALP) protocol for communication between robots that resolves real-time challenges link ambiguity, prediction accuracy, improving Packet Reception Ratio (PRR) and reducing energy consumption in-terms of lesser retransmissions by computing link matrix between robots and determining status of a Collaborative Robotic based Link Prediction (CRLP) link prediction based on a comparison of link matrix value with a predefined covariance link matrix threshold. Based on determined status, robots either transmit or receive packet, and the predefined covariance link matrix threshold is dynamically updated. If the link to be predicted is unavailable, the system resolves ambiguity thereby enabling communication between robots.

Claim (Index 1):
A processor implemented method, comprising:\n computing, using a Collaborative Robotic based Link Prediction (CRLP) protocol, a link matrix between a first set of robots and a second set of robots deployed in an environment; performing a comparison of a value associated with the link matrix and a predefined link covariance matrix threshold; determining at least one status of a CRLP-based link prediction between the first set of robots and the second set of robots based on the comparison, wherein the at least one status comprises an unavailable status and an available status; establishing, using an Assisted Link Prediction (ALP) Protocol, a communication link between the first set of robots and the second set of robots based on the determined at least one status, and performing one of:\n receiving, via the established communication link, by a robot from the first set of robots, a first set of beacon packets from at least one robot from the second set of robots, and dynamically updating, using the ALP protocol, the predefined link covariance matrix threshold based on a comparison of a power of the received first set of beacon packets with a predefined Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) threshold; or \n transmitting via the established communication link, by a robot from the first set of robots, a second set of beacon packets to at least one robot from the second set of robots, and dynamically updating, using the Assisted Link Prediction (ALP) Protocol, the predefined link covariance matrix threshold based on a receipt of an acknowledgement for the second set of beacon packets being transmitted to the at least one robot from the second set of robots.
