A method for enabling communication and collaboration between robotic device. Robotic devices exchange wireless signals to connect to one another and enter an authentication phase. After authenticating, robotic devices add new devices to a network containing all authenticated robotic devices. Robotic devices within a network may send or receive information or instructions to and from other robotic devices in the network. Robotic devices that are out of direct signal range of other robotic devices may communicate them via other robotic devices within the network that form a bridge to forward the signals to the intended target.
