Abstract

In cloud robotics, the model to share information efficiently is still a research challenge. This paper presents an information sharing model for cloud-enabled robots to collaborate and share intelligence. To provide the efficient message dissemination, an adaptive group communication based on multi-agent is proposed. The proposed algorithm uses a weight function for the link nodes to determine the significant links. The performance evaluation showed that the proposed algorithm produced minimal message overhead and was faster to answer queries because of the significant links compared to traditional group communication methods.

클라우드 로봇에서, 효율적인 정보공유 모델은 연구과제이다. 본 논문에서는 클라우드 기반 로봇들이 서로 연동하고 지식을 공유하기 위한 지식공유 모델을 제시한다. 효율적인 메시지 전송을 위해 멀티 에이전트 기반 적응형 그룹 통신을 제시하며, 연결(link) 노드는 주요 링크를 결정하기 위한 비중함수를 사용한다. 성능평가 결과, 제시한 알고리즘이 최소 메세지 오버헤드를 나타내었으며, 전통적인 그룹통신 방법에 비해 주요 링크를 사용함으로 인해 질의에 대한 응답이 빠름을 보였다.
