Abstract
This paper outlines a new Mobile Multi-Robot System architecture based on a Superhypercube Multibus Architecture that addresses some of the inherent limitations of existing architectures in this area. These have limitations originated from the need for simultaneous access to a common data base for navigational applications. This message passing architecture includes implementation of local memory within its processing unit so that constant access to common shared memory is provided, and hence conflicts that arrives due to the nature of traditional parallel robot architectures, are significantly reduced. A simulated performance analysis of this proposed architecture is included to demonstrate the validity and advantages of this system. The simulation also considers the suitability of the architecture for a large range of algorithms, and particularly those that place a high communication burden on traditional architectures.
