Collaborative robots

[naj...@hotmail.fr]

Hello, 

How can I explore the possibilities of several EduMip robots collaborating on a given task ?

Thanks

If you are using a ROS image, you could create a ROS master and then a share Topic which each bot subscribes to and communicate through.

The other option is to use something like MQTT which has basically the same principle as ROS; MQTT server and shared topic.

Cheers,

Jon

How would MQTT work? As I understand it, with MQTT any  number of objects can subscribe to a topic.  How would specific robots talk to each other?  Have a common topic for all, then specific topics for each one?

thanks

You could have a common topic or separate publish and subscribe topics and a specific trigger key for each bot. If you need to specify a bot, then you could add something like 'bot1' and the rest of the message for a specific bot. 

Same, Same with ROS.
