计算机图形学和多个机器人之间的协作在多个领域引起了越来越多的关注。为了保持它们之间的无缝连接，系统需要能够准确确定机器人的位置和状态，并能够轻松、即时地控制它们。然而，在无需复杂设置的情况下为大量移动机器人实现响应式控制系统，同时避免系统负载问题并非易事。我们的系统称为“Phygital Field”，可以利用像素级可见光通信（PVLC）技术投射两种类型的信息：人类的可见图像和同一位置的移动机器人的数据模式。 Phygital Field 提供两项技术创新：免初始化、免标记的定位和控制方法，以及以其简单性和可扩展性而闻名的系统。 Phygital Field使得机器人能够随时识别自己的位置和状态，不需要测量设备，因为机器人的定位和控制是通过投影实现的。这些特性对于提高系统的可重构性非常重要。通过使用投影图像中嵌入的信息来控制机器人的想法使用户可以轻松地为物理机器人和数字图像设计一个集成环境，以保持它们之间的无缝连接。
Collaboration between computer graphics and multiple robots has attracted increasing attention in several areas. To preserve the seamless connection between them, the system needs to be able to accurately determine the position and state of the robots and be able to control them easily and instantly. However, realizing a responsive control system for a large number of mobile robots without complex settings and at the same time avoiding the system load problem is not trivial. Our system, called "Phygital Field", can project two types of information: visible images for humans and data patterns for mobile robots in the same location by utilizing pixel-level visual light communication (PVLC) technology. Phygital Field offers two technical innovations: an initialization-free and marker-free localization and control method, and a system noted for its simplicity and scalability. Phygital Field enables the robots to always recognize their own positions and states immediately, the measurement devices are not required because localization and control of the robots are realized through projection. These features are very important to improve the reconfigurability of the system. The idea of controlling robots by using information embedded in projected images allows users to easily design an integrated environment for the physical robots and digital images to preserve the seamless connection between them.
