Robocars for Shortest Track Finding and Transmitting

Abstract

Robocars can reduce human efforts in packet routing management problems in many industries including airport and postal packet services. Large airports and postal departments need many such Robocars to carry their packet properly. Central server-based system can be used to monitor or suggests optimum paths to the Robocars from source to destination. However, central system damage will crash or fail the whole system. The problem even becomes more challenging when the Robocars are autonomously carry information and suggest others the optimum path to choose the destination from their own experience. We built two (2) such Robocars, those are capable to find shortest track and transmit the path to other Robocar. Our Robocars apply optimum and shortest path by applying shortest path algorithm. We fixed seven (7) different paths in a maze of a Robocar. The Robocar traverses all seven (7) paths and then find an optimum path among them (lower cost) to reach from source to destination. After reaching destination, it transmits his experience (the shortest path) to its neighbor Robocars. Other Robocars will follow the given direction to reach the destination. Our Robocars are implemented in a static 4x4 maze environment and communicate themselves using Bluetooth technology, and successfully traverse source to destination using optimum path.
