There are 3 categories of robot communication system:
Robot to Human Communication:Communication between Robot and the human operator is crucial, particularly when both the complexity of the tasks and the degree of autonomy of the Robot increase.
A simple teach panel for industrial robot arm can be considered the most simplified form of robot to human communication system. For mobile robots, because of the needs to know and be able to deal with different spatial surroundings, perception, navigating facilities, and so on, it is fair more sophisticated when compare to industrial robotic arms. On the other hand, humanoid robots stretch the complexity of robot to human communication - to an extent that they may need to act and communicate more like humans.
Robot to Robot:When a team of robots assembled to perform a particular set of tasks or objectives, it becomes essential on the ability for robots to communicate to each other. Multiple robots must cooperate in order to complete a task. Some tasks may not even be able to be completed without communication. For example, if only one of the robots knows which task needs to be completed and can not complete the task by itself, this robot needs to communicate this information to the other robots in order for the task to be accomplished. Robot to peripherals:The key to performing the more complex tasks with a robot is linking it intelligently to other machines or peripherals for sequence control and sensors so that it can react sensibly to variations in either the components or the environment. In order to achieve this, different means of communication are adopted: Binary/Digital, Analogue, parallel/serial. Increasingly, networking (such as TCP/IP and wireless) is being employed as a communication mechanism to the robot's peripherals.
