Wireless technology that is widely used at close range is a device that can interface to the other devices. Communication between robots is the process of delivering informations to do something useful task. Communication between robots is an important component in the interaction of the multiple robots. In multiple robot systems, robot leader delivering orders to the follower robot to complete a task that occurs coordination between the robot forms of communication between the robot wirelessly using XBee signals. This form of communication is in the form of a command to the robot follower robot to follow the movement of the robot leader. Advantages of communication between the robots are efficient in completing the task. With time quickly orders can be delivered in a broadcast to the follower so that the job can be completed simultaneously. Key Word: Robot, Leader, follower, communication, XBee, Microcontroller 1 INTRODUCTION Wireless technology has been developing very rapidly due to highly efficient wireless communications. One of the wireless communication technologies in great demand is Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN). WLANs are based on IEEE 802.11 standards that use has some advantageous, such as high capacity, wide coverage and able to broadcast directly [1],[2],[3]. If the area used in wireless is not too widely, a kind of wireless technology applied are Wireless Personal Area Network known as WPAN. WPAN is a network communication among devices over wireless technologies. The reach of a WPAN varies from a few centimeters to a few meters. WPANs are widely used for communication between sensors and electronic devices. There are some technologies used in WPAN such as IrDA, Wireless USB, Bluetooth, Z-Wave and ZigBee. Nowadays, ZigBee is applied in many applications. ZigBee has a defined rate of 250 kbit/s, best suited for periodic or intermittent data or a single signal transmission from a sensor or input device. Applications include wireless light switches, electrical meters with in-home-displays, traffic management systems, and other consumer and industrial equipment that requires short-range wireless transfer of data at relatively low rates. The technology defined by the ZigBee specification is intended to be simpler and less expensive than other WPANs, such as Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. In another side, technology and application of robotic grow rapidly, in terms of reliability, coverage ability and field applications. There are several research themes were also developing, such as sensor technology, motor technology, power supply technology, telecommunications technology, control technology and artificial intelligence technology. The development of these technologies support each other’s to robotic technology. Therefore, investigations of robotic become interesting area for researchers. In this decade, there has been an important variation in robotic research focus. Researchers are beginning to modify the direction of robotic research, from investigation of a single robot system to exploration of coordination of multi- robot systems. Multi-robot system is a system of a robot entities that work together to complete a specific task [4],[5]. There are several advantageous of the application of multi-robot systems. Generally, the application of multi-robot system is to produce a better system in order to solve the problems of the system. With the multi-robot system, the existing complex and difficult system can be performed using the robot with a cheap and simple [6]. Therefore, this paper seeks to address multiple robot communication system design. A communication system design attempted as possible compared to the existing ones. The focus of the design is intended for communication between the leader and the follower so that the follower can follow the movement leaders. The transmission medium used among the robots is a wireless system using the XBee, Arduino microcontroller where the mobile robot is able to 7-01 Xbee Implementation On Mini Multi-robot System 221
