communication among multiple computers in ROS

edit

Thanks a lot.

I have solved this problem. But I have lost in new trouble,how can I reduce the network latency or influence of network latency when multiple computer communicate with each other in Robot Operating System connected by wireless network? Could you please give me some guidance? Thanks again.

That depends entirely on what you're trying to accomplish. So more details about what information is going from computer A -> B, and what computer B is needing to do with that information. Does computer A then need to react to what computer B produces?

Generally, you should avoid having any essential processes running on separate computers, as you will always have that latency, especially with any wireless networking involved. If for example, Computer A is streaming sensor data to computer B, which then needs to compute trajectories, state-estimations, obstacles, etc, then send computer A commands, That is simply bad architecture. The latency will cause problems. It's like trying to drive a car with your eyes shut for 9 seconds out of 10.

That is simply bad architecture.

@ChuiV: I believe your statement should be nuanced a bit: there are plenty of reasons to distribute control like this, and in a properly configured setup, the distribution you describe is more than reasonable.

Using wireless connections for all this may indeed not be a good idea. That I agree with.

Agreed. Thanks for fleshing that thought out a bit more. However I will still say, that the closer sensor processing can be done to the sensor (ie preferable on the same machine as the sensor driver) the better off one would be.
