Abstract:
This disclosure relates generally to distributed robotic networks, and more particularly to communication link-prediction in the distributed robotic networks. In one embodiment, robots in a robotic network, which are mobile, can establish communication with a cloud network through a fog node, wherein the fog node is a static node. A robot can directly communicate with a fog node (R2F) if the fog node is in the communication range of the robot. If there is no fog node in the communication range of the robot, then the robot can establish communication with another robot (R2R) and indirectly communicate with the fog node through the connected robot. Communication link prediction is used to identify one or more communication links that can be used by a robot for establishing communication with the cloud network. A link that satisfies requirements in terms of link quality and any other parameter is used for communication purpose.

Claim (Index 9):
One or more non-transitory machine readable information storage mediums comprising one or more instructions which when executed by one or more hardware processors causes:\n transmitting a beacon signal by a robot in a distributed robotic network; collecting response to the beacon signal, from at least one node of the distributed robotic network, by the robot, wherein the at least one node is a fog node or a robot; determining a link quality with the at least one node from which the response was collected, by the robot; selecting the at least one node if the at least one node satisfies at least one requirement in terms of link quality, based on the determined link quality of the at least one node, by the robot; establishing communication with the selected at least one node, by the robot; and establishing data transmission with a cloud network of the distributed robotic network, through the selected at least one node, by the robot.
