In this Letter, we present a promising solution that utilizes indoor omni-directional visible light communication （VLC） technology to realize efficient multi-robot intelligent coordination （MRIC）. The specific design is presented along with the implemental details of a practical MRIC experimental platform. The exper- imental results show that a 50 Mb/s on-off-keying-based omni-directional VLC can be realized with an effective distance of 2.3 m and a bit error rate of 〈10^-6 in the proposed MRIC platform.展开更多
