This paper presents a model for constructing basic functional communication between autonomous robots. The Communication Language for Autonomous Multi Robot Systems integrates concepts from Speech Act Theory, Agent Communication Language, and network protocols into a six-layer model. The model generates a syntactically simple, concise, yet extensible language structure for task-oriented autonomous robots. The layered approach makes it possible to add or change a layer without impacting the other layers. This provides flexibility to change the interaction protocol used for transmitting messages if desired. This model has been used successfully with both infrared-based and Bluetooth based interaction protocols. The latter is described here.
