  • As a novel underwater communication method, electrocommunication has the following advantages: lower energy consumption, less susceptible to external interference, real-time, and high omnidirectional performance. It has become a potential method for underwater communication and networking among small underwater robots. In previous research activities, the electrocommunication system has been integrated into a boxfish-like robotic fish. However, when multiple robotic fishes(nodes) communicate, collision is unavoidable because they share same electrocommunication channel. In this paper, an electrocommunication protocol based on the carrier sense multiple access/collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) protocol of wireless communication networks is proposed to solve the collision problem. The operating mechanism of the protocol and the channel state detection method are introduced. In order to validate the effectiveness of the proposed protocol, MATLAB simulations and electrocommunication experiments using three robotic fishes were conducted. The results show that this protocol can effectively reduce the occurrence of communication collisions.
