CONSTELLATION ROBOT SYSTEM, AND BASE STATION, PHEROMONE ROBOT, AND SENSING ROBOT WHICH ARE ALL CONTAINED IN CONSTELLATION ROBOT SYSTEM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a constellation robot system which implements an accurate recognition of location. SOLUTION: A plurality of pheromone robots FEn105 are located on almost concentric circles with a base station BS101 at the central position, and between the pheromone robots and the base station, sensing robots CS are placed on nearly concentric circles. A target is sought by moving this constellation robot system 100. The communication structure between the base station BS101 and the many sensing robots CS is a tree-form tiered system through which communication routes will become unified without exception. In this constellation robot system, instructions for movement are delivered from the upper stream (Base station BS101) to the lower stream, while detection information on the target is delivered from the lower stream to the upper stream.
