Current mobile robotics applications within the framework of Industry 4.0 require the use of a network of robots to ensure communication between different robotic agents. According to some authors, there are challenges at the robot network level given that there are delays in data transmission due to the large flow of information and the noise that can occur. Therefore, there are different performance metrics that allow evaluating the performance of robots and the robot network, but when evaluating a robot network it is not clear which of the different metrics to use. This article proposes an evaluation of performance metrics based on a selection of characteristics, in order to support decision-making that allows selecting the most appropriate metrics according to the application. It is expected that with this solution, researchers will be able to select the metrics they require for the evaluation of robot networks in the framework of Industry 4.0.
