Advances in electronics and mechanics have provided the basis technologies required for sophisticated robots. It is well recognized that robots have significant operational advantages over humans as they can perform tasks without requirements for rest, food, shelter, or task heterogeneity. Although numerous ad hoc network protocols, also called packet radio, mobile ad hoc networks, or self-organizing networks, have been proposed and implemented, all of them were designed to be completely transparent to applications. The resulting extended applicability, however, comes at the cost of severe restrictions in the exchange of information between the application and the network, which makes it virtually impossible for them to anticipate each other's behavior and thus cooperate. This article compares the performance of the proposed algorithms with each other with respect to the total distance moved metric using simulation methods. In conclusion, the article discusses the future research directions.
